Labour Home gets a new backer

I hope that this news is correct.

Rumour has it among comrades that LabourHome has managed to financially seduce is none other than Mr Mike Danson, the new proprietor of the New Statesman, who has offered a high five figure sum for the site's funds... with some of the existing editors, like Alex Hilton, one of the foremost Labour bloggers and co-founder, Jag Singh, staying on board. Views from the bottom, cash and editorial from the top. Excellent
.

Great news if this is the case,and that hopefully with the backing of the New Statesman,the poliical blogosphere will have a left of centre rival to the excellent Conservative Home.

[...] have a left of centre rival

What do you actually mean when you say that? Rival in what sense? Does the spending of money buy new readers, in this world of Google and reciprocal links? Clearly rival political ideas already exist. Labour bloggers also already exist in large numbers, and people read them.
