Guido was disappointed that last weekend’s Compass event did not make more of an impact. Couple of has-beens moaning, a few Brownites sending coded messages and Blears saying we must try harder.

The Compass-released poll showing that former Labour supporters want the party to lose and basically they hate Blair is interesting. Is this some sort of Scottish Kamikaze political strategy? The plan appears to be to scare Labour MPs into thinking they will lose their seats with Blair causing them to move to oust him. The only problem with this it seems to Guido is that Blair says he won’t fight the General Election as Labour’s leader. So why worry?

How the hell are the Brownites going to drag Blair out of Downing Street? They need to build up a lot more pressure before September and party conference.
