What exactly is happening in the Labour Party?
Following Lord Mandelson's appearance on Newsnight (his views teased out by Emily Maitlis let us not forget, not some "star" imported from early morning Radio 4) Mark Ferguson attacks his intervention as "living in the past": http://labourlist.org/2015/01/living-in-the-past/
Is it simply an ageing grandee nostalgic for his younger days?
Or are we seeing positioning for the future of the Labour Party?
Is it possible that many senior people in the Labour Party have already written-off the May election and are now actively planning for a post-Ed Miliband future?
One in which they would abandon the disastrous flirtations with old-style socialism and recreate "the policies we saw in the Clinton-Blair era".
