Birthday Boy (Or should it be Birthday Coolcat?)

As the title says, it's my birthday today. I'm going to keep this blog short because I got loads to do today.

First of all I offer my condolences to the survivors and the bereaved on this 6th anniversary of the Siege of Beslan, North Ossetia, Russia.

Second, a momentary reflection on the decision by Hitler, 61 years today, to Invade Poland so starting the 2nd World War in Europe.

Finally, on the day that voting papers are sent to activists, union members and Labour MPs to elect a successor to Gordon Brown: Former PM Tony Blair's memoirs hits the shops with damaging revelations about his relatonship with Brown and a plea for the party not to turn it's back on The New Labour project.

Somehow I don't think I'll be buying Blair's book in a hurry and I doubt that the leadership contenders will be reading it.
Blair, like Mandelson asserts that the voters rejected Labour because it was not New Labour enough. Whoever wins this contest needs to accept that the party has to move beyond New Labour to win back those list votes.
