Another Damning Indictment of New Labour

It's getting hard to keep up with the torrent of sleaze, corruption, authoritarianism, abuse of power and mismanagement coming from a governing party in its death throes. The resignation of former Halifax Labour MP Alice Mahon from the party sums up the disillusionment and sense of betrayal felt by those who didn't sign up for the 'New Labour' agenda. 

“This has been a difficult decision to take as I feel I was almost born into the Labour party. However, I can no longer be a member of a party that, at the leadership level, has betrayed many of the values and principles that inspired me, as a teenager, to join. . . My final reason for leaving the party is because it is no longer democratic ... Quite simply, I have had it with New Labour”
