Quote of the Day
"But as I see the challenge ahead, I fear that my utmost will not be enough and I am not the best person to lead this party into the next election. Fairly or unfairly, the public have decided. If I am no longer an asset to my party in the battle to keep the Conservatives from power, then I know my duty is to stand aside and let someone else succeed. That is the greatest service I can offer. I hope I have been the right person to see the country through a crisis. But I fear I am no longer the best person to take Labour's good case to the electorate."

Polly Toynbee

Is the whole thing a joke, or does she really believe Labour have done some good?
"Improved public services"? Pah. Odious woman.
I neither have the time or sobriety to look it up...some one pls remind me what that awful woman said when the Prime Mentalist took over from B'Liar
I'm an A&E nurse, Hermione, you should have worked with me during the 80s and 90s. I've got very little time for Labour but it's inaccurate to say that public services ate not better.
But have public services improved in line with the increase in spending?
I have no facts or figures to hand, but I was a patient in the 80s and 90s (I suppose i was a 'client' or 'service user' or something equally risible in the 00s). I seem to remember being able to call out our local GP in the middle of the night back then, and he'd arrive within the hour. Now it's an automated service and, if you're lucky, an actual person phones you back three hours later.
I've no doubt that the front line staff work every bit as hard as they have always done, but I simply don't feel that we're seeing benefits in line with the added investment. Particularly in schools.
Ah...
Always lightens my day when I read the latest deranged outpourings from Princess Pollytwaddle.
Pass the Port, somebody...
Argh!!
I was thinking Really? Wow! Yey!!!!
And then realised it was a cruel joke. Cruel joke Tory Bear! You raised my hopes and smashed it on the rocks! I'm now depressed!
