I'm a Labour supporter, but even I can't defend the tax rises for the poor. You'd have to made of stone, not to be disappointed by New Labour and some of its decisions.

The trouble with the New Tories as an alternative is that one fears that they have the same old agenda.

Tax breaks for the stinking rich.

widespread unemployment, with not a care in the world as to the social ills it will bring in its wake.

Insults and humiliation for those of us who live 'on the state' - pensioners, carers, disabled people, the unemployed, etc.

Worst of all Irish policy dictated by the Unionists, and MI5's dirty public school fingers in every foreign policy pie. the none cleaning out of that Augean stables has been the keenest disappointment about New Labour.
