Labour's Intemperance Movement - The Problem With Andrew Fisher
I don't see how he can have campaigned, had complex loyalties, exercised discipline, made sacrifices, cared - all the things that Labour campaigners do - and laughed as Ed Balls fell... If his heart isn't with Labour, he shouldn't be at the heart of Labour.

Content: So here is my take: the grounds for real concern over Andrew Fisher's appointment as Head of Policy are different to those that have been reported. Perhaps they are more profound, perhaps less - but this is from inside the Labour Party, and from all of us who fought hard through the 2015 election, and when the exit polls came out, died a little. While Labour hearts broke, and Labour campaigners prayed that Ed Balls would hold on, and Labour activists shook their heads at the thought of a heart of Labour constituency handed to the Tories...
Fisher thought it was funny. At 12.35am on the morning of the 8th May, those of us who had worked so hard were at last starting to understand that the best of us would fail, and the best of us would fall. We were learning that we would never form a government, and that for five years, the Tories would govern unchecked, and they would govern against everything we had fought for. It was around 12.35am that for the first time that someone told me that Ed Balls' seat wasn't safe. And it was at 12.35am that Fisher tweeted that it was, 'Fitting that the architect of Labour's miserable austerity-lite economic policy should fall.' Wait, what? Ed Balls was our Shadow Chancellor.
