http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8696559.stm Credit where it's due. Can't help but agree with Richard Herring. Following the scrapping of ID cards and the new runway at Heathrow he pointed out... "It appears the new right wing government is going to be more left wing than the old left wing government, and yet left wing people are mourning the loss of a right wing left wing government, even though it is possible the new right wing government is more left wing. The first thing any new Labour leader should try is possibly to make their party more left wing than the Tories again....and if that's not too much to ask, possibly more left wing than the Liberal Democrats too." A bit daft to come to such conclusions so early based on a couple of policies. As for Heathrow, what does that have to do with political persuasion. To scrap runway three is just fucking stupid, end of. Environmental policies are frequently seen as a bit lefty liberal like. And protecting leafy southern villages is Conservative. I do admit though that the Daily Mail must be howling at the moon about the coalition! My core position of disagreeing with everything the Daily Mail believes is leaving me in a very disorientated and unhappy place atm

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

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
