Prime Minister First Priority, Britain Last

Our Public Services seem to be in a state of crisis and yet are in stasis.

NHS Trusts are cutting services and cannot get close to predicting how much they are going to overspend, the Home Office is being the Home Office etc. etc. etc., yet Parliament is at a standstill while we wait for the Prime Minister to resign at his personal convenience. PM first, Britain second.

Even without the Cash for Peerages debacle the situation is unacceptable and it is about time that Labour MPs' stood up to be counted and forced him out. It is also time the Labour whips office started to earn their money in a productive way and told Blair what he needs to hear.

Will any of this happen? Of course not. Very few people in the Labour Party have enough bottle. That is the difference between where we are now compared to when Maggie left office all those years ago - the Conservative Party had the guts to do what was right for the Country.
