John Cruddas

At least one influential Labour lawmaker has rallied to Brown's support. John Cruddas wrote in the Sunday Mirror that simply dumping Brown is "madness" that won't solve Labour's troubles. "We're now less than a year away from the election," Cruddas wrote. "We have no more chances left. We either pull ourselves together, stake out what we stand for, or we will be gone."

IMO: That is about right.

Cruddas has somewhat whimsically been called "the thinking man's streetfighter" by the Economist but I believe his approximate constituency used to be that of Cynthia Moseley - this speaks of the poverty of some of his constituents. His European views seem to be roughly those of the German Social Democrat Andrea Nahles.
