"Apparently in No 10 the view is that we lost the council [Camden] because we have two disloyal Labour MPs (although interestingly they both won their seats at the last election) In one of the Sunday papers it was suggested by an unnamed "Blairite" that new Labour switchers are angry because they love Tony so much and don't want him to go. The same source today says a timetable for handing over the leadership of the Labour Party would be a disaster because those same voters would start to desert us 'in droves'.
They need to wake up and smell the Gospel Oak coffee. They already are deserting us in droves, fracturing into a patchwork of green, yellow and blue. Too many of them are disillusioned over too many issues. The transition to a new leader is only the start of the job that needs to be done."
The significance of this lies in the fact that Fiona Miller is the partner of a certain Alastair Campbell. If Campbell's partner is advocating transition to a new leader, can Blair's apocalypse be far off?
