...on the Progress website between Jon Cruddas, MP for Dagenham, and Philip Collins of Demos.
I have been highly critical of Progress on this blog, and having been monitoring their website and e-mailouts while I've been here in Korea, and frankly there appears to have been little change in their pro-market, individualist rhetoric, which is hardly surprising given the organisation's leading lights.
My analysis of the debate is hardly startling, but it is painfully obvious that it will be impossible to heal divisions within the party until the right-wing begin to address the fundamental flaws in the policies they have been pushing since Blair became leader... not in one policy area or another but, as Jon Cruddas argues, with regard to the "really elemental stuff."
Anything else is just tinkering round the edges and will not contribute one iota to resolving the issues that face us today.

But Cruddas voting record shows him lacking guts, the guts to back his words, you do not tell people to fight 42 days then vote for it, you do not spend months telling people to fight the welfare reforms then do not bother to turn up to vote, a large yellow streak, or perhaps his eyes are on the leadership, I hope not Cruddas is a Blairite looking to win an election then takes us further to the right.
