How long will Ed Milliband survive as Labour Leader ?

The Daily Mail: Reports that Ed Miliband has take a nosedive in a new poll. In the modern political era you have to have that IT, that factor that gets supporters in the good times and keeps them in the bad times, thus Thatcher, Blair had that political x - factor, it can be argued that Ed Miliband has the buzz of your local tax inspector without the jokes. One’s memory can play tricks but one does recall that Tony Blair was lot more popular at this period than young Mr Miliband, in the modern politics the backbenches wont wait forever, they did that with Gordon Brown and in 2010 Labour lost power after thirteen years, they don’t want a repeat of 1979 when Labour lost power and faced a Conservative Party in power for eighteen years. Thus young Mr Miliband does not have all the time in the world, someone who knifed his own brother in the back should not be surprised if he is removed in a Palace Coup, my money is on Ed Balls.

It Labour that has a split on the referendum, over a hundred Labour MPs have come out in opposition to the change, while Ed Miliband supports the move, thus showing again that " Red " Ed was not the choice of the Labour MPs. Interesting times ahead folks.

BBC News: Reports on the release of documents from the first year of the Thatcher Era under the thirty year rule. In the documents former Conservative Prime Minister Harold Macmillan calls on Lady Thatcher to do a U - Turn on her economic polices, to return to the polices of past Conservative Governments.

The Thatcher Governments had to break the Unions, in the end Thatcher broke the National Union of Mineworkers, the very same union that bought down Edward Heath in the 1970s.
