In RODE the weak CABINET to political OBLIVION

Telegraph: More revelations from the memoirs of Lord Peter Mandelson, the former Business Secretary revels that senior Cabinet members thought that Labour would lose the General Election under PM Gordon Brown. One thing about the Conservative Party is when they see defeat they cut off the head of the leader and get a new one, thus the coup against Lady Thatcher and the succession of Sir John Major, it should be noted that Sir John become PM in 1990 and went on to win the 1992 General Election. The fact that the Labour Cabinet could see the writing on the wall and didn’t chop off Gordon Brown shows the right Party won the UK General Election in 2010.

Labour’s VAT Bombshell - VAT UP to 19%

BBC News: Reports that the Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling wanted to put up VAT but a veto came from PM Gordon Brown, while Chancellor Darling prevented a promise in the Labour Manifesto not to put VAT up. Thus when Labour attacks the Coalition Government it has to be seen as rank hypocrisy, at the end of the day taxes had to go up, and VAT is a good stream of money in to the government. The 156 billion deficit left by the last Labour Government has show the failure of Labour to reform itself, they had a chance in the good years to keep some of the money back for a rainy day but they spent it like drunk sailors. Thus the new Coalition Government has to cut government spending from 25% to 35% in some government departments. This is the age of austerity folks, the 1950s will look like the good times.

Deaths in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that three British Soldiers died Today after being attacked by a member of the Afghan National Army, the Soldiers came from the “ 1st Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles ”. Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 317 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 279 in combat action and 38 due to illness, accidents or other incidents. This is the SECOND time this has happened with Afghan Security Forces, our troops should be allowed to take preventive action should they consider they are under a threat from the Afghan Army or Police.

The Iraq War and the Iraq Inquiry

Guardian: Reports on allegations by Carne Ross formerly of the FCO that the Iraq Inquiry has been lied to by past witness. The new Coalition Government should have placed the Iraq Inquiry under a more Judicial foundation, even if people have lied so what, without the legal power of perjury charges why should people tell truth that has a negative effect on their futures.

It should be noted that unlike Afghanistan, the War in Iraq falls only in to the PM eras of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.

Tony Blair to Gordon Brown = YOUR OUT

Telegraph: Reports on more revelations form the memoirs of Lord Mandelson, PM Gordon Brown was told by ex PM Tony Blair that he would have to give up 10 Downing Street. There was no way these days that Gordon Brown could have kept the keys of 10 Downing Street, the tribal politicians of Labour had their mugs on TV saying that this was a chance for centre left alliance between the Lib Dems and Labour. The price would have been keeping Gordon Brown in power for a while, it should be recalled that the Labour result was the worse in living memory, even worse that 1983. At the end of the day the grow ups in Labour told the bunkers around Gordon Brown that Labour had lost they had to go, also the Lib Dems went with the Conservative Party. In 1997 the new Labour PM Tony Blair wanted to deal with the Lib Dems but the massive majority prevent such a deal, it was to late in 2010.

The FINAL nail in the political coffin of Gordon Brown!

BBC News: Reports on the memoirs of Lord Peter Mandelson, it was the Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg that put the stake through the political heart of Gordon Brown. If the Lib Dems do nothing for the next hundred years they did the UK a favour by getting rid of Gordon Brown. The shallowness of New Labour is seen in its dark glory through the Diaries of Spin Master Campbell and the Memoirs of the Dark Prince himself Lord Mandelson.

Blair vs the Dark Prince

The Daily Mail: Reports on a bust up between former UK PM Tony Blair and the Dark Prince himself Lord Mandelson, the issue the book launch by Lord Mandelson and that Tony Blair is in essence portrayed as two faced, that his word was not his bond. If Mandelson’s book is not a bestseller I will donate a fiver to the Labour Party, this is fun politics folks, when the Masters of spin turn on themselves. RIP New Labour.
