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: 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. He was a fine constituency MP, and endlessly kind to a scruffy little PPC from the Midlands, and a great man in the Labour Party. And none of that matters a damn because the central duty - almost the only thing that we really ask of people joining the Labour Party - is that Labour backs Labour. If you're Labour, care. If you're Labour, work. If you're Labour, back Labour candidates - whether they are the Shadow Chancellor or a council candidate in a by-election.
