Earth to Labour
Interesting to see that Labour supporters – even Polly Toynbee – are reverting to type in opposition. The reaction of some to yesterday’s cuts announcement is astonishing, given that Alastair Darling himself pledged a future Labour government would halve the deficit in 4 years. They talk of class warfare, rich Tories (and Lib Dems too?) looking after their own, Marx was right, increase taxes and spending…it’s as if the deficit and the debt crisis doesn’t exist.
If they carry on like this, a merry nightmare awaits whichever Milliband is tasked with leading the party. Or will it be Balls in the end? It usually is with Labour.
