Flog the lot

Patricia Hewitt says she is "fighting for the soul of the NHS". If this does not wake up delegates to next week's Labour Party Conference that we are actually involved in a fight to save the bloody soul of the Labour Party I do not know what will. When Blair is packed off to the US speaking circuit perhaps he can take Hewitt with him to carry his bags.... she has experience in the job, she used to do it for Neil Kinnock. Those of us with longer memories recall her days as a strident Bennite, screaming 'traitor' at those who had voted for Healey for Deputy Leader. Believe it or not... she was considered a danger to national security by MI5.... I think they got it right for once.
