Has Derek Draper got a Blog?
Derek Draper is the leader of Labour’s new rebuttal unit . I went looking for his blog and couldn’t find it. Anyone who doesn’t have a blog can’t engage in conversation, and is likely to end up with a case of “Japanese students on bikes for the first time in their lives going round a traffic island the wrong way looking like Martians” syndrome.
It seems to me that the focus of the work needs to switch from one-way rebuttal to two-way debate and dialogue, and then DD will get an enthusiastic welcome from (nearly) everywhere.
Treating the blogosphere as something to be rebutted will be very, very embarrassing - especially if they end up needing to rebut things that are true.
(I develop this theme more at the Wardman Wire).
