This article by Johann Hari was written a few days ago, but I've only just come across it. Memo to self: must read more of his stuff.
It gives four very good reasons for why Labour shouldn't implode, and instead stop David Cameron being Prime Minister. Given the chance, the Conservatives would screw over some of Britain's most vulnerable:
1) Chronic drug addicts
2) The poorest students
3) Part-time workers
4) Single mothers
These are the practical issues at stake if Labour continues to ebb in the opinion polls. How much more important are they than when precisely Jon Mendelsohn knew that some weirdo was giving money to Labour under different names – the question that has been riveting the process-obsessed Nick Robinson school of politics for weeks? And how much more important are all these real people – chronic drug addicts, poor students, part-time workers, single mums – than the fatuous, foolish questions our pundits are incessantly asking about Gordon Brown's personality?

This article has the most tortured opening paragraph I've ever seen - hideously circumlocutory. (Comment this)
