Harriet Harman to play key role in Labour election campaign.

“Harriet Harman is to play a key role “fronting” Labour’s general election campaign next year, the Daily Telegraph has learnt.

The deputy Labour leader’s role is the latest indication of Peter Mandelson’s diminishing influence.

Ms Harman is being lined up to host the daily televised media briefings – a role which will make her one of the main “faces” of the campaign.”

I’m no fan of the Labour Party (hmmm cold weather and recession, 1979 anyone ?) but I really do have to tell the Labour Party this is a baaaaad idea. Would this woman inspire you to vote for Labour ?

She certainly wouldn’t inspire me.

The Rotten State Of Britain.

Spotted this title over on Al Jahom’s Final Word.  I’ve not read it yet (I’ve ordered one from Amazon) but I reckon it’s going to be pretty interesting.  We already know pretty much what’s going to be in the book (unless you’ve been out of the country for the last ten years or asleep) but it’ll be interesting to see it all in one place.  As someone who remembers the state the last Labour government left Great Britain in (1979) my heart sank when Labour was voted back into power back in 1997.  I knew then it would end in tears, and the optimism people showed was unfounded and unrealistic.

Perhaps you’d like to check the book out yourself:

“WHEN Labour came to power 12 years ago I had such high hopes, but I’ve been disappointed.” – Retired trucker Cyril Dagnell 73 from Southampton.

Like I say I don’t normally read The Sun but I took a look today because I wanted to know what they’d said about Labour after seeing one of the conference attendees tear up a copy of The Sun on stage at the Labour Party Conference.

I would have thought at 73 Cyril would have learnt from the past ….  Even at a mere 44 I remember the Winter Of Discontent and the resulting departure of Labour.
