UK Labour Party membership.
On 7 April 2007, in The Guardian, Billy Bragg tells us (Labour is already too blue):
1. The UK Labour Party lost 4 million working-class voters between 1997 and 2010.
Most of these people simply did not vote in the last election.
2. Globalisation is the problem.
Jobs have been lost overseas.
Cheap labour has come in from abroad.
3. If it wants its voters back, the Labour Party has to oppose the excesses of capitalism.
The Labour party should be: "a party that defends the ordinary working people against the ravages of the free market; a party that holds those who wield great financial power to account; a party that provides people with a sense of security in an ever-changing world."

Baldwin
Tom Baldwin was the Times journalist who named David kelly as the source of the BBC's claim that the Blair government had sexed up its Iraq dossier.
(Meet the champagne (and coke snorting) socialist who is Labour's new Alastair ...)
Baldwin has now been appointed by the UK Labour Party leader Ed Miliband as his new director of strategy.
Baldwin's wife Rebecca is a rich heiress.
Lord Ashcroft wrote of Baldwin: "I found Baldwin was not only a binge drinker, but also that he was a habitual user of cocaine, the Class A recreational drug."
