All that Ed milliband has done since he became leader has taken us back to the Neil Kinnock days!! There is no threat or challenge towards the conservative party at the moment. The Tories even said themselves there only threat is David Milliband, Ed simply got into leadership because of the union. I believe people should stop getting at- Tony Blair because although he made mistakes, he improved many things for the better and he did win 3 elections which I cannot see anyone in the shadow cabinet doing atm. I think the simple answer is to modernise yes. But also remember what works... and a slow start!??!?! He hasn’t started! And it’s not good enough. <br />Someone for heaven’s sake get Ed out. We need a leader who is going to defend all classes in society and not make comments like.. 'I’m my own man' etc. because Ed.. No one cares!! I hope and pray labour win the next election but it’s pretty certain we won’t unless we have a leader that actually has testicles. <br />The only people who are going on about the ‘blairites’ are Ed supporters…who quite frankly ‘need to get the script’ his methods are not working. I want to see the Tories under threat…at the moment watching PMQ’s is like watching that scene in bambi, where the mother lamb gets shot and everyone’s streaming in tears. <br />When the Tories get in, in 2015 I will personally be blaming Ed, and all his followers for bringing this party down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378450371118263133.post-42560790074095637512011-06-22T09:42:02.170+01:002011-06-22T09:42:02.170+01:00Ed M is doing well..

They...Labour must move on from Blair/Brown totally. They gone, in the past and ceased to be. As long as the Labour Party talks in such terms, it will never win the trust of the Electorate again.<br /><br />Ed is doing a decent job so far, in my opinion. It has been a slow start, but the party is moving steadily forward. It has won the post election by-elections well, and the Local Election results in May showed that the Labour Heartlands are coming home. Of course, much work remains in the South of England, and Scotland.<br /><br />On policy, Refounding Labour' has begun, and if read Ed's speech from the Progress 2011 Conference, he is building an understanding of the task ahead. Before Labour offers detailed policies, it needs to create the foundation of principles required. <br /><br />Labour must not forget that it is barely a year on from a GE defeat after 13 years in Government. The truth is that any Labour Leader will struggle to be heard. It might upset some former Ministers, but the public at large don't really want to hear them at the moment. They must wait until the public at large are receptive to Labour's arguments.<br /><br />I consider the pincer movement against Ed the other weekend quite disgraceful. Ed is Labour's elected leader, and it appears some ex-ministers don't respect the democratic decision of the party. I for one will not trust David M again. If the people want to back stab their Leader, they should join the Conservatives. They are good at that.<br /><br />I fully support Ed, and any move to install an 'Heir to Blair' would be a disaster. We need to reflect on why so many working class voters left Labour. We need to understand why many ordinary folk thought that David Cameron's Conservatives were a better bet for them than Labour. Labour did not lose because of Gordon Brown – they lost because the public did not trust Labour, and thought them to be self serving and just interested in power without principle.<br /><br />The last time Labour really reviewed itself deeply was about 20 years ago. The world has moved on. So must Labour.TerraMaterChildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440508915159434685noreply@blogger.com
