Above: policy chart drawn up by Tom Clark for the Guardian in June last year (if you click on the image you should be able to read the text). I have often looked through this chart, as it places on a single sheet of paper all of Labour's policy options. A matrix of this kind is essential to effective PR - to my mind Ed Miliband is being let down by his PR operation.
I am currently watching Channel 4 News (I'm hoping to see a report on the YouGov poll for Channel 4 News on the Scottish referendum).
Have just seen Jon Snow interview Ed Miliband who dismissed Jon Snow's sneers that he was in the power of the union "paymasters". Ed Miliband seems to be coming under a lot of unreasonable criticism at the moment. What is wrong with the Labour Party? Do they seriously think that the party can have any effect on government policy so many years away from the election? All they can do is plan for the future, concentrating on innovative and attractive policies in each of the areas of the above chart. Anything else is just meaningless posturing that will count for nothing in 2015.
