Quote of the day 9th November 2017

"Your method of ruling through fear and your desire to crush any opponent — real or imagined — destroyed Tony Blair’s government and then ate your own. Alan Milburn, Ruth Kelly, David Miliband, James Purnell: these people were your allies, or should have been, for goodness sake. Yet you feuded with them, humiliated them or chased them out of politics altogether.

And when you’d gone, having scorched the landscape, no wonder there was nothing left except Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell."

(Lord Dannny Finkelstein, extract from an article in the Times in the form of an open letter to Gordon Brown in response to the latter's memoirs which you can read in full here.)
