Brown 2.0

From his deckchair in Vietnam, Guido blogs on the latest openings for the revamped (and, perhaps, jinxed) Team Brown – two web experts. He certainly needs them – Labour’s internet operation is indeed dire, and the No10 website is little better (save for the wonderful glimpse it offers of what UK government may look like under a restored caliphate). 

Perhaps he should pay them to blog instead. Old Alex Hilton needs reinforcements – the left is heavily out numbered by us here on the right, for reasons I’ve never quite understood. The strange thing about the web is that individual people are far more popular and effective than hired hands. Brown may have a huge budget to get the brightest whiz kids. But what he needs most is a left-wing Iain Dale.
