It’s also bad when cabinet ministers, those you would expect to back the PM to the hilt, are suggesting to the media that people vote for another party to stop another party from winning (Ed Balls, on voting for a Lib Dem candidate). Never mind voting for them, because they know they won’t get the vote…

Surprisingly for me, and I will only say this once, I think that Tony Blair is much smarter than I ever gave him credit for. I actually felt sorry for him for getting stabbed in the back and at the time thought he was a bit pathetic for not striking out. But really, he’s the smart one here. He must have seen the writing on the wall and went gracefully with a smile on his face. A cheesy one, but nevertheless, a knowing happy smile.

Serves him right from taking £300 or so a year (more) from people earning less than £18K/year. I mean what an idiot. The Labour party, party of the people, is supposed to look after those who work hard for their money at the low end of the spectrum.

Now his popularity is taking a nosedive because of that unfortunate and unpopular tax choice.

Not that I like him, just wanted to rub salt in!
