Ouch.
LFAT,
It's not the glorious start Brown wanted. And I can't see it improving anytime soon.
Wow, you managed to savage the Labour party and list point by point its rapid decline and you didn't even need to mention Northern Rock - I guess that shows just how bad things are for them!
Garbo,
To tell the truth I could have added more, the foot and mouth leak for one, but the list was taking ages to compile. The cock-ups are getting so numerous that I will need to put them in a scrollable box.
So another two years of political nothing until May 2009?
Jeremy,
They won't last that long. This government has lost ALL credibility.
