Mr Cruddas Mr Adonis Mr Glasman

"Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, particularly when you have one idea."

"The difficulty lies, not in the new ideas, but in escaping the old ones".

New Labour is dead. Blue Labour is a non starter.

"A One Nation manifesto will only be written from the grassroots up"

Please explain Mr Cruddas when you are are actually going to engage with grassroots and the labour mainstream. On the evidence so far you have engaged with nobody but a small group of handpicked individuals.

Glasman, Adonis, Cruddas, Eagle can all continue talking to themselves on issues that are not only totally at odds with mainstream population, whilst they continue to socially engineer the party and produce poor policy, UKIP grow stronger and stronger.

Whilst it might have slipped the attention of these individuals engaged in London based political elite conversation UKIP has recently taken a local by election in Rawmarsh, Rotherham, a staunch labour stronghold. Unimaginable

UKIP are eating into the Labour vote. Ed Milibands recent decision to direct efforts towards London in next years local elections is a bad move. UKIP are on course to make gains on a unimaginable scale in Labour heartlands in Yorkshire. Rotherham, Bradford, Doncaster, Barnsley et al. If they field candidates in 2015 there will be some major losses.

And all this lot can do is TALK the good society and do little in terms of engaging with grassroots or mainstream. I have more important things to do with my time like other genuine labour activists, then to listen to this out of touch propaganda.

If I was Ed Miliband I would be extremely worried particularly if Nigel Farage decides to stand against him or another high ranker. Given that Doncasters local government has been controlled by a Tory for four years, it wouldnt take a brain surgeon to work out that there is a massive vacuum to be filled.

Do not say you havent been warned. Even the kitchen sink campaigning will not stop the inevitable.

When is Mr Miliband going wake up and smell the cornflakes and listen to those who are the only ones who can help him...... GRASSROOTS

The attempt to revive and reinvent ethical socialism by Jon Cruddas should be welcomed as it resonates with the UK's political history and common culture. Maurice Glasman's patrionising and academic blue labour should be largely ignored and Ed Miliband should not fall prey to him or be distracted from contemporary issues and voters common sense concerns.

A tooth (plural teeth) is a cheap, calcified, whitish structure ground in the jaws (or mouths) of many vertebrates and occupied to sever down food. Some animals, explicitly carnivores, also take teeth for the purpose hunting or instead of defensive purposes. The roots of teeth are covered nearby gums. Teeth are not made of bone, but degree of multiple tissues of varying density and hardness.

The general design of teeth is alike resemble across the vertebrates, although there is considerable converting in their fabric and position. The teeth of mammals drink serious roots, and this design is also initiate in some fish, and in crocodilians. In most teleost fish, manner, the teeth are attached to the outer rise of the bone, while in lizards they are fastened to the inner interface of the jaw by harmonious side. In cartilaginous fish, such as sharks, the teeth are joined by rough ligaments to the hoops of cartilage that accumulate the jaw.

Spot on comment from both Brian Lynch and Denis Calnan.

I am, afraid that the Labour Party needs to make up its mind: either it can start to properly represent the people whose votes it has been taking for granted for the past 16 years; or it can continue it's decline into a Red Tory, B.Liarite, neo-liberal, NEW Labour abyss and kiss a lot of those votes (mine included) 'goodbye' !!

And if the party genuinely wishes to make a constructive start - SACK THAT TORY, LIAM BYRNE !!!

Brian Lynch's comment from this morning is spot on. Sadly, with the stealthty re-takeover of the Labour Party by the Blairites of Prospect, the chances of such a programme are next to nil. Whats even more depressing is that these policies are not even that radical. Most of them are simply logical and practical ideas for dealing with the economic and social crisis thats overwhelming the UK.
Compass needs to refocus itself on the struggle with the Blairites within the Labour Party and move away from this wishy-washy "broad progressive thinktank" approach. The Blairites are winning and the fight (possibly the last one) is on for the soul of the Labour Party. If it is lost, then I think the unions should be encouraged to abandon the party and re-establish a "real" Labour Party of our own. I for one would support them in that.
At the moment there is a huge political gap between the Labour Party's official sub-Blairite position and the fringe Trot parties. Sadly, if we're not careful, that space will be filled by UKIP and the rest of the Far-Right, who will end up taking a large working-class protest vote and channeling it in a xenophobic direction.

How about; a living minimum wage, bank transaction tax, private rents cap, end tax breaks for private landlords, social housing building program, amendment to the lisbon treaty, thus reversing neo liberal economics in the UK and throughout europe, cap on gas, electricity and petrol prices, renationalise the railways, rediscover democracy in the labour party and throughout the country.
I could go on but the chances of any social type policies being adopted into the so called "one nationism and "policy review" and dare i say labour manifesto are nil.
