Sedgemore is a grumpy leftie and we are definitely better off without him in New Labour’s post-socialist Britain. I told them at the press conference this morning I was “not in the socialist mould”, that will set them off after yesterday when we accused the Conservatives of departing from Thatcherite economics. In truth only we can be trusted with Thatcher’s legacy, the Tories are too incompetent to manage a modern free-market economy.

Wonder who else is going to quit? Corbyn? Skinner? Abbot? Please, please, please.
