As the unions wrangle to get back their party from the Blairites - threatening to oust the Progress group from within its ranks - it is clear that the left-right tussle continues, two decades after New Labour came to prominence.
Last night, a revelation cast new light on the rightward bias of that revolutionary triumvirate of Blair, Campbell and Mandelson.
Former director of strategy and Blairite torch-bearer Alistair Campbell, launching the fourth instalment of his delicious diaries at the Mile End Group, revealed his bias is inherent and visceral.
He affirmed that his right leg was shorter than his left, requiring insoles to keep him walking in a straight line. If his audience at Queen Mary University Of London doubted his word - perish the thought - he removed his shoes and aired the devices.
Unassisted by artifice, it was clear that Campbell naturally veers to the right. The battle for the heart and sole of the Labour Party was won.
