Are Your Tablets Working Darling
It seems that Darling has lost it, in a TV interview on the Andrew Marr Show yesterday he said “he was not a natural optimist but was confident despite Labour's heavy defeat in this week's by-election.” And followed it up with: “Whoever wins the next election will shape the destiny of this country - not just for the next five years, beyond that... I believe that we can win and we will win, but we really do need to come out fighting."Asked by the presenter "even under Gordon Brown?" Mr Darling replied: "Yes, absolutely."
Gordo, who seems to be on the same medication said: “We've got to show that we are a disciplined party getting on with the work of government. I think people are very clear that we've got a task ahead. We've got work to do to prepare for the autumn."
Others seem to have a slightly different opinion: Ex-home secretary Charles Clarke blamed the Norwich North result on Mr Brown's "incompetent" treatment of outgoing MP Dr Ian Gibson.
Senior backbencher Barry Sheerman said the result was a "self-inflicted wound" and warned Mr Brown had until the end of the summer to reconnect with voters.
Left-winger John McDonnell said the prime minister had made a "terrible miscalculation" in his handling of the episode.
And fellow Labour backbencher, Kate Hoey, told the BBC Mr Brown needed to re-examine his leadership techniques.
She said: "By-elections are always unique but there is no doubt about it that this is a bad result."
Gordo then gave his holiday plans: and said he intended to spend more time with his children during the summer break from Westminster.
"If you are away for a week you notice how your children change and you have got to re-win their interest. It's important you understand you have got to spend time with your children."
Just as well Gord, I hear they are looking for unemployed, middle aged men to take teacher training courses for Infants schools.
