Excellent piece, especially the similarities between Benn and Blair.
The labour party did extinguish itself: first the fires died down under Kinnock. They were reduced to smouldering ashes by Smith and then Blair came along and pissed all over the fireplace and floor.

I see there's another sex scandal in the Tory party today.

All the lies, deceit and the risk of being ousted and exposed as hypocritical gobshite must weigh on one's sleep patterns in the wee wee hours.
