Newspapers filled with the meltdown of this failed Labour government, which feels like it is running out of track as well as ideas. Malcolm Rifkind even manages to sympathise with ministers about to lose their Red Boxes and Range Rovers or whatever they go about in. Interesting piece by Denis MacShane on the end of Labour's 'Scottish years' although in deploring the absence of English born and bred ministers he somehow overlooks Alan Johnson, Harriet Harman, Ruth Kelly and James Purnell to name but three. Mr MacShane is evidently an idealist, since he thinks 'the unions in England could help Labour by exposing waste and bureaucracy'. Yeah, sure, especially since Labour is now virtually dependent on them since the money-men have walked away. The best piece of the day is also in the Sunday Telegraph, namely Iain Martin's analysis of what the Tories need to do next, assuming a Labour leadership change does not trigger a general election. They need, Martin says, 'to seal the deal' with more of the electorate, rather than just spectating as Labour disintegrates. Cameron is lucky, apparently he's even got his bike back, but now he needs to connect with the inner cities, Scotland and Wales, along with Northern Ireland, although the re-merger there with the UUP augurs well.
