It was class like. Mark Lawson shit his pants. "What were you thinking of?" He had a pop at Kermode about an interview from 20 years ago too. Proper tart. I dunno - I thought his "SO you were going for Northern English?" was a pretty good wind -up

I agree

you are an idiot

I think you are completely out of line on this one Craig - it stinks

genius

I'm getting a rather unpleasent image of Cameron, Clegg and co daisychaining each other in alternate Liberal/Conservative order. Dont think of Anne Widdecombe for Gods sake

I think it was more that he pointed out if you pay peanuts you get monkeys edit: added smilie to prevent offence

you should really have agreed with the underfunding and refuted his complaints there and then (assuming you didnt). Nowt you can really do about it now unless you boot him in the clunge

Christ I reply far too slowly. Thats what having to work in the private sector does for you - not enought time to reply prompltly

This is the official position from the Lib Dem spokesperson on the Labour-Lib Dem talks, for what it's worth: "Key members of Labour's negotiating team gave every impression of wanting the process to fail and Labour made no attempt at all to agree a common approach with the Liberal Democrats on issues such as fairer schools funding for the most deprived pupils and taking those on low incomes out of tax. It became clear to the Liberal Democrats that certain key Labour cabinet ministers were determined to undermine any agreement by holding out on policy issues and suggesting that Labour would not deliver on proportional representation and might not marshal the votes to secure even the most modest form of electoral reform. It is clear that some people in the Labour Party see opposition as a more attractive alternative to the challenges of creating a progressive, reforming government, not least in the context of a Labour leadership election campaign." I do think the Mandy/Campbell were pulling the strings more with the next election in mind rather than failing to acheive a liblab coalition. Worth it to see the Tories shit themselves at the prospect

I've said as much earlier. Particularly the last bit. Thing is though, it hasn't just come from the Lib Dems that Labour weren't arsed. Labour have said they weren't arsed either. It pisses me off a little though it the above is true as it shows cowardice on the part of Labour imo. Let some else make the unpopular decisions so they can score off the resulting unrest. Those decisions need making whomever is in power and in some respects - I think it should have been Labour making those decisions to repair some of the damage they played their part in. I am pretty sure Labour would have preferred to have won the Election, and are of the opinion that their plans would have been better for the country than the libdemcon. Cowardice is a bit of a ridiculous accusation My suggestion of cowardice was aimed at their preference to move into opposition rather than form a coalition and implement their plan. Surely if they believed strongly enough in it, then they would have done whatever it took to action said plan - if it was for the good of the country? I think it was realism rather than cowardice. It would have been stupidity not bravery to go for a plan that waoud have pretty much garuenteed electoral wipeout when the alliance imploded. There werent the numbers to make it stick

To be fair though (which I dont like being) The libdems and the cons did agree that cuts were the way to tackle the deficit not tax rises. The disagreement was more the timetable, and I can see how the piigs in Euroland may have concentrated their thinking. Thats the end of my impatiality - I feel dirty all three parties agreed cuts were inevitable - labotu too. the only difference being the tories wanted to start straight away while the libdems and labour wanted to secure the recovery before starting to make cuts. interestign to note that the economy (the big issue fought in the election campaign) is the one where clegg made compromises instead of things like electoral reform and fuixed terms. cameron appears to have made more concessions but on the big issue thaat really matters, he got his way. I cant be bothered looking it up but I think the defecit reduction plans in the manifestos had Liberals 100% cuts the tories were 80:20 cuts/tax and Labour were 50:50. I could be wrong like. Anyway Vote Clegg get Brown my arse - what a stitch up by the brothers toff
