France Today

Alastair Campbell’s Blog: AC states he is a “ … Francophone ”. In other words he likes nearly all things French. Explains a Lot! France is great, just one problem the French, asked for tea once in Paris, you might have thought I had asked for the French nuclear codes, they had no idea of what TEA was, had to use hand gestures, cup etc. After Two World Wars of saving their ungrateful skins you would think they could learn what TEA is, and how you make it, not that I am anti French, just happen to understand them far to well, arrogance with nothing to back it up! Who does that remind me of, Labour and New just two words that comes to mind! Its is the silly season after all, do they have humour in France!

DPM Clegg on WPC Yvonne Fletcher Case

Telegraph Live: Reports that the UK Coalition Government Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has stated that the suspect in the killing of WPC Yvonne Fletcher, Matouk Mohammed Matouk should be bought to justice by the new Libyan Government. Lets hope the new regime in Tripoli remembers who its friends were at the start, that means the UK and France, the US was shamed in to action by the UK PM and the French President. Lets see if they bring the suspect to Court in Libya or the UK, but not Scotland, they can not be trusted.

Brown’s Moods - Brown Era

BBC News: Reports that former Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling has called the moods of former PM Brown, “ brutal and volcanic ”. A flawed psychology charge is not new when it comes to Gordon Brown, the Blair Camp got there first, it must hurt Gordon Brown to have the impression around that he is cleverly barmy, but if you read the diaries and memoirs from the New Labour Era that is the impression that you get, one has to wonder how former PM Tony Blair allowed Brown to become his successor, if the founders of New Labour had such a low personal opinion of Brown. The Country deserved better than Gordon Brown.

Former Chancellor Darling on Brown - Brown Era

Guido Fawkes Blog: Reports on the extracts from the memoir of the last Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alistair Darling, how the relationship broke down between Alistair Darling and PM Brown, how the present Shadow Chancellor, Ed Balls ran a shadow Treasury Unit from 10 Downing Street, how PM Brown tried to spy on the Treasury, and finally how Brown wanted to sack Darling and replace him with Ed Balls. These are the festering wounds still at the heart of the Labour Party, how such a divisive character Mr Balls is, how he was seen as the hatched man for Brown. If these are the extracts in the book then the new leadership will have some tough questions to answer, can Mr Ed Miliband trust Balls, who is the real master of Balls, Brown or Miliband. In seems that PM Brown did not learn from his battles with Tony Blair, the fight just moved on for Brown from Blair to Darling.
