Labour has a 'narrow view of what is realistic'

John Rentoul, journalist for the Independent, says Blairite is now a dirty word in the Labour Party. He says the "only consolation" of Ed Miliband as leader was to drive home the point to some in the Labour party that adopting "a naive leftist view wasn't going to work" - proved, he says, by the election result. And yet Labour has "taken its head off and run around in little circles".

But Zoe Williams, from the Guardian, doesn't agree with his analysis. She says Labour's problem is that it has a "narrow view of what's realistic".
