Let's Hire Cherie

Now that Cherie is shamlessly doing lecture tours, how about we have a whip round, and hire her to speak to New Labour Scandals.

A few ideas for question.

1. Does your husband tell you as many porkies as he does us?
2. Is it appropiate for the PM's wife to use her position to enrich herself?
3. Can she think of another PM who became several million pounds richer whilst in office?
4. If we buy you a one-way ticket to Basra, will you take it?

I'll put a tenner into the kitty. When we have fifty quid, we'll see if we can make a booking.

Road Pricing

Maybe I've got this democracy business muddled up, but didn't we just have a general election. Now, the Government is planning a radical new policy, getting rid of fuel duty, and introducing road pricing instead.

There are arguments to be made for this (weak, but arguments all the same). But couldn't they have at least mentioned it last month, and allowed people to vote on it at the polls.

Or maybe that isn't how New Labour thinks things should work.

The French 'non' vote was apparently won by bloggers. See this article from Newsweek.

So watch our Tony and Gordon. The bloggers are coming to get you.
