RAMSAY MAC WOULD BE PROUD....

But most Labour Party members are surely horrified - if not surprised - at the spectacle of Frank Field, John Hutton, Alan Milburn and David Blunkett all getting into bed with the ConDem "National Government" . Milburn and Hutton, arch-Blairite to the core, were inevitably going to jump ship as they quit Parliament the minute Opposition and the absence of fat Ministerial salaries went. Blunkett, centrist though he might have become, is rather more of a disappointment. The word loyalty clearly means nothing to these people in their pursuit of wealth, power and influence. The sad thing is that two of them are still, in name only, Labour MPs.
