They are all at it today; the labour party conference seems to have forced them out of the woodwork and into the light.Gord of course has decided that the middle classes are the priority, he claims to identify with the “mainstream middle classes” and declares that he will always put their interests first.
Consigning the “working classes” to the bottom of the pile...again.
He has magic-ed up a ‘cancer test 'within two weeks' pledge, in order to curry favour from GPs.
Prezza has un-holstered both his guns (to match his jags) and fired a salvo at Double H (Harriet Harmon) over Women’s’ rights “Ms Harman has faced criticism from opponents for attempting to push through controversial equal opportunities legislation, including a law which would allow companies to discriminate in favour of women, and for suggesting that Lehman Sisters might have fared better than Lehman Brothers, the doomed US investment bank.”
And not content with trying to put a hole in double H’s forehead he reloaded and took pot shots at James Purnell, the former Work and Pensions Secretary, and the influential backbencher Jon Cruddas for spending too much time with think tanks, rather than knocking on doors.
He said: “They’re a bloody party of whiners, when what we want is a party”.
But his favour falls on the prince of darkness “He added that Lord Mandelson was the “only one making a real campaign” for the Government.
“Peter was always the core of that team,” he said. “We’ve got individual ministers saying things about their departments, but there’s no overall message.”
Shame then that the dark lord isn’t elected.
Peter Hain is spreading doom and gloom; in an outspoken interview with The Sunday Times, Hain admitted that ministers had been gripped by “defeatism” and said too many serious mistakes had been made.
Hain said: “There have been too many instances where we haven’t done as well as we should have done: the 10p tax, the Gurkhas, Lockerbie.”
When asked why the government had made so many errors of judgment, Hain hinted that he thought Brown and his No 10 team were to blame: “I have my own views on that but if you don’t mind I’ll keep them to myself.”
Hain, 59, was forced to resign last year as work and pensions secretary after a police inquiry into the finances of his failed campaign to be Labour deputy leader.
One of the Miliband clones has refused to rule out the prospect of military action in Iran after the discovery of a secret nuclear facility, as officials in Tehran claimed the site will be available for inspection.
David Miliband said the UK was "100 per cent committed" to a diplomatic resolution to the row and urged the Iranians to take steps to address widespread concerns at a meeting next week.
Wide eyed and clueless Ed Balls has finally owned up that he wants to be Prime Minister while speaking to 12 year old pupils from St Martin’s School in Northwood, Middlesex, saying “It is the hardest job in the country being Prime Minister, on the one hand, the challenge of doing the hardest job ... I don’t think you could honestly say you wouldn’t like to have a go.” in reply to “Would you like to have the top political job in the land, the one currently held, just, by your long-time friend Gordon Brown?”
Ah the vagaries of being an MP or ex MP as most of them will be before long.
The picture sums up the state of Labour at the present time.
