A ‘new’ politics #3

BBC: MPs angry at written statements.

The number of written statements issued by the government in the final days before Parliament’s summer recess has angered opposition parties.

But what’s this?

Commons leader Harriet Harman said the timing was for “practical” reasons.

You bet it was done for practical reasons. Give the spin doctors a few days off, maybe? Give the likes of the redoubtable Harman a break from media scutiny, perhaps. Bless them, they’ve been in the job a whole month - they must be knackered.

    “…. they’ve been in the job a whole month”

    During which time it hasn’t stopped raining and world markets have entered the preliminary stage of a crash that will shake Broon’s comfy boasts of Gordon-fostered perpetual growth to its foundations - Looks like it’s finally ‘chickens home to roost time’ for him. He must be shitting bricks right now because he knows that if he doesn’t go for an immediate election, he can kiss the trappings of power goodbye for good. Two years from now the economy will be toast and he knows it.

    That’s all IMHO of course.

    I suggest herewith we run an Awards for the politician who is not cynical, self-interested, brown-nosed and money-grubbing.
