According to the Telegraph:
Peter Mandelson, the new Business Secretary, had a private meal with George Osborne, the shadow chancellor, just weeks ago during which he is alleged to have savagely criticised the Prime Minister.
Would Mandelson dare to take the position of Prime Minister from within the Lords? I believe the last peer to be PM was Douglas-Home in 1963, who renounced his peerage to stand for the commons.
If the UK is facing its worst crisis in 60 years – and of course, it is not! – this is a spectacular indictment of Labour’s record in government: what were we recovering from sixty years ago?
Barry Sheerman MP, schools committee chairman, said New Labour has “run its course” and that Gordon Brown must show “strength, will and purpose” to renew the government.
So, we are agreed that New Labour has failed, but hasn’t the country been agreed for at least 20 years that Old Labour was a failure too?
Labour are at least beginning to understand that people get what they want when they spend money themselves – that is, when they enter voluntarily into mutually-beneficial contracts – but I am sure the country cannot afford to wait for Labour to learn finally from experience that democratic socialism does not work.
Under Labour, 900,000 more people are in deep poverty compared to 1997 and the gap in life expectancy is now the highest since the Victorian age. A person on £100 a week takes home just 6p for every additional pound earned. Government borrowing will burden generations.
Labour continues to destroy itself:
If it comes to a contest, putting Alan Milburn forward as a proposed Chancellor would show everyone just how serious about rescuing the Labour Party David is
Labour’s period in office is becoming a parody of Hayek’s “The Road to Serfdom”. Which special interest group is next for favour?
A remarkable by-election victory heralds the end of New Labour as the Conservatives’ positive campaign contrasts starkly with the democratic socialists’ desperate return to class war.
Those who believe in freedom, enterprise and responsibility must now rise to the challenge of restoring our classic liberal society.
… for British citizens.
Well, it’s a start. Now how to deal with all their other faulty proposals, plans, policies, treaties and laws?
