How Labour needs Charles Clarke

I think Charles Clarke provides some sensible and smart analysis in the Times this morning having a dig at both Blair and Brown. I believe his words at Brown are most relevant when he says 'Brown is not clear on ideas for reform' and we do'nt know if the Chancellor believes in Blairite reforms such as Tutition fees and Foundation Hospitals or Academies. The killer line is the jibe about Gordon's Britishness speech's being recycled. Clearly we do'nt need to know everything that Gordon Brown is going to do in his first 100 days as PM but the party and country has a right to know what direction he intends to take us in, so credit to Clarke for banging the drum a few to many others seem just to stay silent.

'Sceptic stirs the waters of debate to keep Labour's boat on course':
