Our old friend and comrade Luke Akehurst would regard himself as a prolific blogger. He’s recently penned one of occasionally strange pieces, “A dossier I compelled – and not anonymously“. I won’t bore you with the contents but this seems to be a repost to the anonymous dossier that has been going around and which focusses on Progress, to which comrade Akehurst is connected.
Luke’s dossier is really more of a rant and as such doesn’t really concern us. However, at one point he says of LDN:
This has now been replaced by the Labour Democratic Network – LDN which seems somewhat moribund as it last posted on its blog in November.
Comrade Luke, LDN is certainly not defunct. When the Party can’t manage to convene its own National Policy Forum for over twelve months, at a time when it is having a major policy review, there is clearly work to do.
But one thing. We are committed to action and pronouncements when we have something to say. Sometimes organisation is everything.
Comrade Akehurst would be rise not to confuse verbal diarrhoea with actual action. But then he is a prolific blogger!
It’s always quality that counts Luke, and not just quantity at any cost!
I can think of another world to use for our dearly beloved Luke, and blogger is not the one.
I think Labour has one of those parties within a party with Progress it’s now powerful with powerful backers, and as long as Blair and his cronies are around Progress will always be a power base within labour, more the pity
