More evidence of Labour's civil war, with socialist Ken Livingstone attacking Blairite John Prescott (I hope I am getting these labels right - it's difficult to keep up with all the factions, perhaps the Guardian should do one of its charts):  http://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/you-screwed-it-up-ken-livingstone-hits-back-at-john-prescott-over-his-attack-on-ed-miliband-8774318.html

Open fighting of this kind implies weak leadership at the top and poor discipline throughout the party.

Presumably the reshuffle mentioned will be an attempt to appease the Unite faction prior to the conference next year on the Labour party's links with the unions.
