Worse than Kinnock

Arrogant and Ignorant Ed Moribund that is

So why are Labour not ditching him . One year to the election and Cameron is heading for an election victory from which he will make even more severe changes in favour of the rich elite at our expense.



Is there a British politician worthy of the office of Prime Minister?

The lack of suggestions shows the dearth of candidates for the job.
Nigel Farage and UKIP are undoubtedly going to have a very good result in the forthcoming Euro Elections due to the euro scepticism in this country and the chance for people to protest against the established parties. Whether you agree with Farage or not, he has opened up debate on a number of issues.
That said Farage cannot be considered a credible candidate for Prime Minister and I suspect he realises that as well, so most people will decide between the leaders of the main two parties and I would be very surprised if either change their leader so close to next year's General Election.
Funny John that you mention Kinnock as only this morning I thought back to the 1992 election where neither him or Major inspired people to vote for them and it was a case of who was the least worst option and I can see that happening again with people voting for the idiot they know before the untried idiot.
Sad state of affairs really.

Perhaps we need to look abroad like what Manchester United are doing at the moment?

Just can't believe that Miliband has gone all through this year's Euro Election campaign without making a keynote speech on Europe
Whether you agree with Clegg, Cameron or Farage or not, at least you pretty much understand where they stand on the UK's relationship with Europe. Sadly the same can't be said of Miliband. Does he want to see closer integration with the EU or looser ties. Would he ever consider joining the Euro? Does he believe the freedom of movement rules are correct or need changing? I doubt we'll ever know because other than squirming on Andrew Marr's sofa when Farage laid into him, he hasn't engaged in the Euro debate and Labour policy has been to concentrate on domestic issues.
I'm sure they have their reasons for campaigning like that, but Miliband needs to raise his game and start looking like a statesman. Some one needs to tell him he is main candidate for Cameron's job as Prime Minister for Christ's sake!

Enjoying a drop of red.

Indeed. I also can't understand why the entire Labour election campaign seems to have been aimed against the Lib Dems, who are at the bottom of the pile in the opinion polls by such a margin, instead of taking pot-shots at their real opposition.

Still if this ineptitude helps get rid of Moribund then all to the better.

Whilst we're at it, can anyone tell me what happened to Labour's summer offensive and is Milliband still alive? At least we've had the tit Cameron squessed into a rubber suit to laugh at!
