Read the transcript of TB on Today, also saw him on the 1pm news!

He looks demented.

Maybe Cherie has finally seen the light.

Wilma, it was one hell of a mistake he made, many people were killed for WMD that did not exist. That has just got to define his time in office. Check on this if you will but when Blair was in office the difference between the haves and have not's was never greater.

It is common now to refer to " the last Labour government "
meaning Blair
New Labour was a considerable departure from the original Labour principles. He ditched Clause 4 and decided to keep on with the economics that Thatcher had introduced.
Blair and New Labour went in for the outsourcing of public work to private companies as much as the Tories do.
The Labour party as it has become over the last year or so has much different policies, based on Keynesian economics, as the Labour party did in the days after the war, when so much needed doing for the people.
And after all these years of Tory rule, we are in a pretty bad way now, and once again desperately need a change of direction

Blair won three elections, after the war labour won one election. The country now cannot be compared to 1945,
