...does this mean you will stand against Gordo?
Oh please say it does.
David actually makes a lot of sense: -
Although I'm not sure this represents value for money. However, in my immense munificence, I would be happy to offer 'consultancy' services to any MPs who are at a loss...

The concentration of power in Westminster is as antithetical to our ambitions of a more equal society as is the concentration of power in the private sector.
Creating institutions closer to citizens, open and accountable to their communities, able to reconcile conflicts and competing demands, is the way to tackle the sense of powerlessness that can seem pervasive. That means we need to fight the instinct of bureaucracies and political parties to hold on to power. One hundred towns and cities with the leadership, confidence and power to lead British economic, social and cultural renewal should be our aim.

Concentration of power always brings to my mind the word autocracy. Spreading it over is doubtless the best way to allay the citizens' fears.
Miliband might be better to bide his time and try and use his current high profile for a big job from Gordon - maybe the new Min for Justice.
Another few years and he might be perfectly placed - especially if Labour lose the next election.
Hmmmm.
I support Hain for Deputy and he's for Brown. So I suppose Brown should be given a chance, but I see too many personal traits that may hinder him as PM.
The Finance Dir. at work thinks he's just too smart by half, and that his government would be hindered by a suspicious distrust of those who aren’t quite up-to-speed. Not sure, but having looked closer at the budget, and the reduction of capital allowances on investment, I’m less inclined to think it was such a great budget.
Why would you crucify capital investment (struggling manufacturing businesses looking to invest in CapEx projects) over financially led businesses? This was a city budget, not one for those employed in manufacturing, who, if we’re honest, need the most help.
