The New Labour vote has collapsed. Perhaps it is because Gordon Brown’s handling of the UK economy is so poor. The UK economy is in a terrible state, the consequences are going to have to be massive tax rises to pay for the incompetence of those running the country.
The recent elections have hit Labour hard. They blame the expenses row. But the Conservatives have done very well in both the local elections and the European election. So have the Libdems. So it cannot just be the expenses mess.
Perhaps people understand that New Labor and Gordon Brown are responsible for the expenses problems!
All the Labour people on TV and the radio seem to think that there is no competent person in the party who could do a better job than Brown who has actually got everything wrong. Perhaps they are right!

Well, well, well! The honourable members of the New Labour party are behaving very much like the Old Labour party. Perhaps that little word ‘New’ was only added to to make Labour acceptable to more voters – the same people, the same politics but a different image!
Looks like a plan, a well worked out plan, by the colleagues of the Prime Minister to turf him out.
So will that mean that another, un-elected leader of Labour is going to appear and run the country without a mandate!
I don’t think that the UK electorate would stand for that. They will want an election not a new leader.
Who says politics is boring? How can people not be interested in on-going collapse of New Labour?

One wonders whether Brown’s cheesy grins are in direct proportion to the desperation he feels!
I have never seen him try to smile so much!!
There is this continual clash between Brown and Cameron with the PM insisting that Cameron announces Conservative policies for the UK; as though the leader of the opposition is in a position to implement their policies!
Brown appears to believe that he can pursuade people that Cameron’s silence mean that he has no policies. But most people would acknowledge that the Conservative policies, of which I am sure they would have spent a lot of time on, are not relevant simply because the Conservatives are not in power yet.
Invoking a discussion about the Conservatives policies during PMQs would take the pressure off Brown and the disasterous state of the UK economy.
So Cameron is right to stay quiet and keep the focus on Brown and the collapse of the UK economy after 12 years of New Labour.

The Government hasn’t got any money!! It has spent it all over the years and we now have huge debts that will take many years to pay off from extra taxes on our incomes! There has to come a point where the government has to come clean and admit that it cannot afford to subsidise everyone who needs it. Of course they could abandon schemes such as the ID cards and some of the other hugely expensive computer systems that they are planning! We cannot spend money that we do not have!

I listened to Brown speaking at prime minister question time today.
He talked about all the money he is spending, and all the money that he is planning to spend.
Surely every pound that Brown spends on our behalf is now adding to our debt levels?
We have huge debt levels in the UK now. It will take a generation of taxpayers to clear these debts. What a burden for the children of today who will be paying back the debt through their working life!
Listening to the prime minister you would not believe that the UK was in financial meltdown and the worst financial state in living memory.
He is clearly in denial!
And he clearly will not acknowldedge that he, more than any other person, is repsonsible for the financial mess that the country is in!

I came across a statistic today which I am very unhappy about.
25% of our council tax is now spent funding town hall pensions
It is almost unbelievable the government of the UK would allow so much of our council tax to towards pension benefits for a minority of the people who work in our council offices.
We need competent staff to run our councils in an efficient and capable manner. But if 25% of our council tax is required to pay to have efficient councils then I would suggest that we could dispense with these people and have very inefficient councils and we would save a lot of money on our council bills!
