Derek Draper’s Blog. Has he even got a blog?

q-icon-no

Derek Draper is the leader of Labour’s new rebuttal unit. I went looking for his blog and couldn’t find it. Anyone who can’t engage in conversation and is dealing with blogs 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.

Not having a blog, Dolly cannot engage in conversation and rebut this post in blog-fashion, nor can I tell him it exists because there is nowhere to ping. Ah, well.

Derek, if you find this post and want to rebut it as you do have a blog - or even post-prebut it with a changed story on an earlier timestamp somewhere else after the fact (we learnt some lessons the first time round !) - please leave a comment below under your real name from Labour HQ, and I’ll be delighted to update my article to be a self-post-buttal of my pre-emptive-butt-all due to your after the fact post-prebuttal.

If you switch the focus from one-way rebuttal to two-way debate and dialogue, you’ll get an enthusiastic welcome (nearly) everywhere - and you are welcome to Guest Post here.

OK?

One friendly warning note: Third-Party Audit Trails Kick in After about 60 seconds on blogs. Little Brothers are watching you: thousands of them. So talk to us. Please.

(Then: Cleggover with an Iain Dale tie.)

Has Derek Draper got a shred of human decency? Or a clue? NO.

This would appear to be his website. Judging by this photo, it’s the same DD.

@Dave Cole: I quite like his logo with the classic Hille style chairs. But he still needs a blog .

I’m also interested that the Cleggster is so well preserved - they are almost the same age I think. Must be the ravages of power that DD (unlike Mr Clegg) used to have…

Same age as me too … ish. No comment.

@Matt Wardman: This post is tagged humourous, so I can note that if it was Bethan Jenkins, she’d have included the bit when she was having therapy herself as part of her cv - bearing in mind that being taken to an Anti-Apartheid rally at age 8 counted as “political activism”.
