Oh the irony!

Well, we've seen the Labour Party shed the cloak of Socialism and become "NEW" Labour Tories: but who would have ever thought the Tories would even say they were going to do the reverse? Seems the Tories have recognised the glaringly obvious fact, that the wealth gap in our society is at it's widest since Victorian times and (if you don't believe it's a contradiction in terms) say they intend to do something about it! Perhaps they intend to win places like Glasgow East at the next election! Meanwhile, Gov Ministers interviewed on TV, are in total denial about the wealth gap; having been wheened on Bliarite Thacherism, they simply don't get it; they are completley oblivious to the need to close the gap by taxing the rich and not taxing the poor; or by providing Council houses for the homeless, or by creating jobs by major infrastructure investments, or stabilising society by a return to pre-liberal values of law and order; the list is endless. Perhaps there has been some socialist enterism into the Tory Party or maybe they've actually been walking round with their eyes open?!

Meanwhile; the wannabe Leaders are now lining up to knife Gordon in the back; as if that will suddenly change the fortunes of their Party. Baby Milliband, straight out of school, and wheened on New Labour ideology (if there is such a thing); seems to be challenging Harriet Harman for the position of Brutus. But where do they imagine this can get them in two years; they collectively have to recognise the current problems in order to advocate meaningfull solutions, something they seem to ignore.

Not sure that they could have a new leader and then wait until May 2010 to hold an election. Wouldn't have thought an ambitious "young turk" would want to take over...and then go on to lose an election, better to wait until after the election....unless he loses his seat of course.

Carefull Paul; that sounds a lot like common sense; but ambition sometimes overides logic!
