I suppose Portillo is intending to keep his powder dry until after this one is chucked out when they lose the next election.

What's frightening though is to remember the old saying about how "Oppositions don't win elections, Governments lose them". Tony Blair seems to be doing his level best to put people off voting Labour. They won't vote Tory, but they could well stay home. It's genuinely scarey...

Time to start talking about "stakeholding" once again, Tony! Only mean it this time.

I'm glad to hear that the BBC is planning to bring back Dr Who. We could be needing his help.
