...+4 from last month. Rodders and his merry men should watch the new Labour 4 part documentary on the BBC at the moment. I Watched part 1 last night where St Tony said that he thought TGL and the Tories were doing a lot right and set out to make the party similarly electable, essentially Tory Lite was created.

gully: "he might have to seriously think about including a referendum to rejoin the E/U in his next pre/election Manifesto " - PMSL this ain't the SNP!

Ousting the anti-Semite, communists (magic grandpa etc.) from Labour has helped with the stats along with all the slings & arrows of the last couple of years, but it I don't think the Left should get too exited.

No doubt about it , the Best years in the UK,
were 1997-2007,,,,,, "when things only got better"

[ToraToraTora]

I wouldnt put too much store on polls.

However they are often an indication of public mood mid term so Johnson needs to ensure he is not complacent. I see this more as a damming indictment on labours poor performance rather than the Tories brilliance.

And yes, I know there has been a pandemic, but many of Johnsons problems now are not directly related to it. He(and his supporters) cant keep using it as an excuse.

Tories need to be Tories not New Labour.

Leading to the 2008 crash when (economic genius) Chancellor Brown's failure to regulate the banks led to the UK being involved in a global meltdown!
I thought the fella held a PhD in Economics - seems his thesis was on "The History of the Labour Party". PMSL.

I don't think it was Gordon Brown who was to blame for 2008's fnancial crisis(!)
Overheating US housing market, a general obsession with encouraging people to borrow money, etc

Yes the banks should have been regulated better, on a worldwide basis, but easy to say that now ...

[davebro]

He was to blame for much of the effect it had on UK banks.

[ichkeria]

UK banks suffered because US borrowing collapsed

"When America sneezes" etc

[ToraToraTora]

the reaction to the US sub prime fiasco was one of the few things GB got right. I could write a book about the problems there.

[THECORBYLOON]

Would you include an appendix in the book to explain the rhyming slang and abbreviations for offensive phrases?

[ichkeria]

Indeed it was Tora
