I like the bit where they ask her to stop laughing. Jesus.
There will be no change of party leadership, or not until Blair decides to leave. Labour is spineless. Blair and his goons are bastards, but they are the Labour Party's own pet bastards. Party 'discipline' will keep them free from serious challenge. And most politically active lefties in this country either belong to the Labour Party or have left it in disgust (membership halved - literally - since Blair came to power in 1997). Even the Guardian pulls its punches with New Labour, because the last thing it wants to do is give comfort to the enemy - the Tories. (Come to that, I don't want to give comfort to the Tories, either.)
Meanwhile, all the 'little Hitlers', as my parents' generation would have called them, are creeping out of their holes. Christ knows where it will all end.
