Boris Johnson - Class Warrior!

Been really tied up of late - professionally and personally.

But I really must point out a great think piece by Martin O'Neill in this week's New Statesman on why people seem to tolerate Boris Johnson.

Martin think's it all comes down to class and I think he's pretty damn close to nailing it on the head.

As Leonard Woolf once said: "There is nothing to which men cling more tenaciously than the privileges of class."

UPDATE

Very clever and funny viral. I think it says more than any piece of campaign literature we could put out.

Muddle England

Fascinating article in this week's New Statesman that gives an interesting insight into what 'Middle England' is.

Surprisingly, it's a lot more liberal (with a small l!) than we think.

But I think more importantly, it shows how vital it is for Labour to continue to meet people's aspirations.
