On top of the large number of Labour’s cabinet resignations ahead of yesterday’s disastrous county council results, Brendan O’Neill tells it straight in Spiked today:
“It is time we had a General Election, not, as David Cameron says, so that we can express our anger about expenses, but so we can hold the political class properly to account- including Purnell, Smith, Blears and Brown- for their attempted transformation of Britain into an illiberal, risk-averse, mistrustful society, their degredation of political life and political debate in preference of petty court-style politics, and their utter lack of vision for a future good society and how Britain might pull through the recession.”
Further evidence of the Labour party in government falling apart. One MP involved in the expenses scandal has quit triggering what could be a damaging by-election.
In the end, the day of reckoning will eventually come… and even Brown, and Labour, will not be able to postpone the inevitable defeat at the polls any longer.
