I can’t see tuition fees on the list (especially given the original promise njot to introduce them). See also Blunkett: ‘Read my lips: no selection’

Yiou could throw in Blair’s kicking at the hands of the WI as well.

Your missing the undermining of the democratic system inside Labour 1993-take your pick. That probably rates another few points.

Also:

Forcing Robin Cook to choose to end his marriage at the airport in pursuit of a better headline.

Ã‚Â£300m per annum on GP contract incomes pa because Patsy is a negotiating dolt when drugs cannot be afforded for patients.

Handling of foot and mouth.

Single farm payments cocked up, and resulting cuts to heritage budgets.

Millenium Dome.

I’d have 2 spikes and put Ken Livingstone on the other one. Preferably alive.

Excellent, much better than any of the eulogies I’ll expect to read over the coming days.

Interestingly I was interviewing a Conservative MP the other day about Tony and asked if there was anything positive Blair had achieved. His answer included a bit about the economy but otherwise it was ‘England’s a nice place to live at the moment.’

I would have challenged him, but other than the few economic bits you (and he) already raised, bar Northern Ireland, I was completely stuck.
