In praise of Mandelson and Labour's best way forwards

I think this, on the subject of being liked being a luxury:
"He still wouldn't say he can afford the luxury of being liked – "Not if it means not making hard choices, no." "

Top stuff, and something (backbone) lacking in too many Labour politicians at the moment.
That's the best way for Labour to go, win or loose do the right thing for the country and everything else will sort itself out
