Trust Teri to dig up 'politics of envy'. As though politics of gluttony, pride, avarice, anger and sloth weren't a thousand times worse.

But Les and the rest, you're never going to inspire the masses with the slogan "We're not as bad as the other lot".

"Swallow hard and vote Labour", they told me, "Things could be a lot worse."
So I swallowed hard and voted Labour.
And lo, things were a lot worse.
