I've only just caught up with today's news. For me, the most interesting story by far is the Mirror's scoop of a Philip Gould memo.
Daniel Finkelstein's take on it is spot on:
Though it isn't the memo's intent, one of the clear messages is just how good... Lord Gould is.
As Daniel says, it is compulsory reading. Whatever one thinks of Labour's performance as a government, its strategic positioning has been consistenty stunning, and in large measure that has been because of the insights and rare skills of Lord Gould. To read that memo is to see top class strategic political advice. Anyone who wants to understand how politics works, how Labour works, and how campaignining works should read that memo.
