Ah well, the people have spoken. What a sad night it was. I am depressed that Michael Howard has resigned as he was the only leader of principle in this election. Michael told the truth - and the truth resonated with the people on the doorsteps and on the phones. People do want clean hospitals. People do want their country back. People desperately want tax cuts. labouring party lied and lied again - but it will do them no good because their majority is slim and they are sitting in so many marginals that, next time, they will be out for keeps. The ridiculous Libdems were routed. 62 seats - after trying to be all things to all men. Their so-called decapitation strategy utterly failed, save for Tim Collins they only took labouring seats. So cheer up friends. Our next leadership contest will soon be on its way. As usual I will try to keep you up to date with what is really happening on the ground. Those of you with your heads still up in the air may like to join me down here in reality land!
