Head over to Twitter, and all you see from the Blairites is a lot of complaining about the sheer beastliness of everyone who isn't a fully paid up member of the Tony Blair fan club.

On the other hand, the likes of the Corbynista's, CyberNats and ever UKIP troglodytes can all promote psitive things, and the result is that the moderate left, which has thrown it's lot in with Blairism is now being squeezed out of the conversation.

Which isn't actually a good thing as we do need a strong moderate left with a positive message.
