Defending the CUTS - PM Cameron

Daily Mail: Reports that Coalition PM David Cameron has stated to his Cabinet that they should be defending the forthcoming cuts and placing pressure on Labour on what is Labour Policy and what they would cut. The left wing elite from the BBC, Guardian, Independent are taking the Labour line without really placing Labour in the dock, the economic mess is down to Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, they spent like drunken sailors in the good times but didn’t keep anything under the bed when the economy went down the toilet. Thus the Coalition Government will have to take tough and unpopular decisions, the winter fuel payment might have to be for those only over 75 or in economic need at 65. The tax credits for families after the first child might have to be revoked. All Departments will take a hit with the exception of the NHS and International support to poor countries. Thus the Conservatives and the Lib Dems have to keep Labour on the back foot, if need be have a judicial investigation in to rendition that should keep Labour quite for a while, its harsh politics time folks, in other words the Coalition has to bury New Labour for a generation.

The Tea Party and the 2010 Elections

Fox News: Reports that Christine O'Donnell has won the Republican nomination to be the Republican Candidate for the Senate Seat vacated by VP Biden. The question that is still up in the air is the Tea Party movement a help or a hazard to the Republican Party in the long term, the result in Delaware shows that it might be a major hazard, in essence the Republicans have thrown away a Senate seat that was in the bank, it can be argued that Ms O’ Donnell might just win in Delaware but this blog would not bet the house on that result. Thus it can be postulated at this early stage that the Democrats will keep the Senate, the House is a different matter, still odds on that the Republicans will take the House and be even with the Democrats in the Senate, the Republican Establishment has to make a deal with the tea party, it has to be one and win, otherwise the Democrats will win by default, a divided vote.

Prediction in Delaware


The New York Times: As of this moment Christine O’ Donnell the Tea Party supported Candidate in the Republican race to be the Republican Candidate in November is around 10% ahead of the Establishment Republican Michael Castle. The left wing Guardian, and the Liberal NYT will love this development, in the Delaware race Mr Castle was seen as a winner in the general election while Ms O’ Donnell is seen as to Conservative for the State. Thus my prediction that O’ Donnell will win but lose in the General Election.

US Primary Night

Guardian: Has a live blog from the US on the Primary Elections in “ New Hampshire, Delaware, New York, Massachusetts primaries ”. The most interesting fight is in Delaware, in the Republican nomination fight for the Senate race you have a Establishment vs. a Tea Party Candidate, in political terms the Establishment Republican is seen with the good chance of taking the Senate Seat of former Senator and now Vice - President Jo Biden, the question that has to be asked does the tea party have the muscle to threaten the Republican Establishment. It seems only the Guardian in the UK is following these results, click here to see the latest results from the Guardian.

Lord Prescott supports DAVID MILIBAND

Guardian: Reports that Lord Prescott the former Deputy Leader of the Labour Party under Tony Blair is supporting the former Foreign Secretary David Miliband to be new leader of the Labour Party after Gordon Brown. Lord Prescott is a wise political operative, he would not place his career on the line to support David Miliband if he could not read the tea leaves when it comes to whom Labour will support, one has to say at this moment that the money has to be on David Miliband not his brother Ed Miliband.

Spin MASTER on ATTACK - The Special Relationship

Telegraph: Reports that the colourful New Labour spin master, Alastair Campbell is coming out in attack form over a new film that deals with the political relationship between former Labour PM Tony Blair and former US President Bill Clinton. In other words watch it folks, love articles, books, films that drive New Labour architects up the wall, so far Tony Blair has been quite, or is Mr Campbell the response from Camp Blair. The film is on Saturday folks, remember to set the record folks. Will review the film, at the end of the week.

Teacher Brown - Get me a DRINK!

BBC News: Reports that former Labour Leader and PM Gordon Brown is to teach at Harvard University. My advice, drink a lot to the students, think what he did to former PM Tony Blair after ten years. It might be postulated that Mr Brown might be a good teacher, but and here is the but, Academia is more vicious in some respects than politics!
