I love LabourIst! Gold stars all round for Mr Dale on finding this gem.
I look forward to watching its progress :)
Do, *do* check the Labourist WHOIS entry @
http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=labourist&tld=org
The Labourist 'About' page is truly excellent:
"We are, however, uncomfortable with the close relationship between LabourList.org and members of the Labour establishment. Its editor, Derek Draper has a long and colourful history with leading Labour figures, consequently independence from the Brown government unlikely. There is something deeply troubling about this quasi-official site, where content is provided by members of Labour Government, edited by a former Labour party employee and where comment is encouraged and indeed allowed only by the chosen few.
The purpose of reproducing the LabourList.org content on LABOURIST is to ensure that the public is provided with an open forum where the heavily spun output of LabourList.org can be debated free from biased comment moderation and censorship. At LABOURIST, we believe the press should be free from political interference."
This may be am all-round first. Congrats to its creators - and get yourselves a lawyer.
Let battle commence.
Re Twitter "@derekdraper 1. No one reads blogs for the comments"
Wrong, wrong, wrongity, wrongity, wrong, wrong wrong. Oh yes we do, that's where the sport is.
See Guido & PB.com passim ad nauseam
ConHome is already telling people why not to vote UKIP? In January? Haven't the Tories been spending the last few years telling everyone the party is a spent force?
They must be worried (and rightfully so :D).
Labour List = LOL!
Stupid link to Phi Taylor who says:
"The article is only short but fails the first test of journalism. It fails to record the salient facts. Labour only won this by-election contest for a totally dead safe council seat by the skin of its teeth. 64 votes were all that separated the Labour party from a humiliating defeat."
Er..., but if you look at the BBC article (posted at 0801 GMT)it says that Labour won by a majority of 64 votes.
