Isn't it odd? The Labour Party is apparently totally behind Gordon, and yet on the day of his big speech we have Jon Cruddas writing in the Independent challenging the Labour leadership on the matter of workers rights.He's also given an interview to the Times where he "throws down challenge on party reform and immigration" and calls the Immigration minister Liam Byrne "immature". And he's also keeping a conference diary for the Spectator where he reports that a deal to quell disunity might be falling apart.
Could there be a fight brewing under the surface of the slick media management?

No, dizzy. It just means we don't all arselick our leaders. try it some time, it's quite liberating.
Yes, because I arselick Cameron even though I've pointed out numerous policy ideas that I don't agree with but you choose to ignore.
IndepedNent? Surely if you refer to that great newspaper you mean the IMPEDIMENT
haha
Cruddas finished NOWHERE in Dale's Blogging MP section (and he gave up in June after being the bloggers' friend) but a ridiculous* 43rd in Dale (and Brivati's) Left One Hundred.
Cruddas is very likely right on all these issues and it is not doing any harm for the party to be having a semi-public debate and for concessions to be won through that debate.
Only time will tell whether Cruddas boobed in not taking even a campaigning type job-let under Brown. I think he may have. Others think he has played a blinder.
In terms of being the bloggers' champion he is a complete and utter let down.
* Not quite as ridiculous as Buff Hoon being placed 23rd - how ridiculous is that then?
