Kampfner Gone from New Statesman

Sudden exit is say sources not because he was sacked and it wasn’t over editorial direction, which has not been as Brownite as the proprietor, Geoffrey Robinson, would have liked. Paid for weekly circulation is now only some 25,000 print editions which is a third of the Speccie’s print run. 25,000 readers is about what Guido gets on a good day…

“Charlie Whelan and Lord Ashcroft are exactly the same. One is the baron of the trade unions, and the other one is the baron of Belize. Both are bankrolling political parties, both are trying to buy seats.”
