There was a period - a few months on both sides of #ukgeneralelection2001 - when #newlabour did look as if it was metamorphosing into a recognisable centre-left government - along the lines of those headed by #attlee or #wilson . However the events of 11th September 2001 provided an opportunity for #blairite #ultras to stop this process in its tracks and indeed reverse it to some extent. We have yet to see which part of the story will repeat itself.
