PUNCH AND JUDY POLITICS

Didn't take long.......only several months after Gordon moved in to Number 10, the Blairites are back doing what they enjoy most - having a go at Brown. Today's Mail On Sunday wasted acres of newsprint on a piece by Blair biographer Antony Seldon jawing on about how TB felt "like an abused wife" and the alleged misdemeanours of Ed Balls and the Milibands. The only interesting thing about any of this is why exactly do they get so heated about stuff. Because, frankly, it matters not whether Blair or Brown is the PM. There is no difference at all ideologically between the Blairites and the Brownites. It's not political , clearly just personal nastiness and acrimony. And now Gordon is in a bit of trouble they're back briefing the media, bigging up David Miliband, and generally getting set for a nasty bit of in-fighting in the long run-up to the General Election.One gets the distinct impression that these are, basically, just not very nice people. Ferrets in a sack would probably have more of a moral compass.
