‘Lefties attack themselves too much’
Cowley says that over the past 10 years, the left has expended too much energy attacking itself, in a Press Gazette interview. “Many arguments have been taking place within the party over Iraq and other matters, with many leading left-wing commentators being denounced as neo-Conservatives. Maybe it’s time for left-leaning journalists to concentrate their fire on Cameron and his Eton Rifles.”

We must have conformity, comrades?
Doesn’t look like there will be much improvement in the New Statesman (nor , presumably, the sales). “Many arguments have been taking place within the party over Iraq and other matters, with many leading left-wing commentators being denounced as neo-Conservatives. Maybe it’s time for left-leaning journalists to concentrate their fire on Cameron and his Eton Rifles” – says the new editor as if the “left wing commentators” usually denounced as “neo Conservatives” were only attacked, never attacking, poor dears. These “left-wing commentators” relentlessly attacked Livingstone , whilst joining up with the Boris wing of the “Eton Rifles”. And who can forget Nick Cohen’s revolting smears on the anti war movement (accusing them of viewing Iraqi’s as “wogs” because, er, they didn’t want to bomb them )
