Handbags at Dawn!

Been away for a few days on a well-deserved (in my not so humble opinion) and really rather excellent holiday. No doubt I have missed out on some exciting stories whilst I was off the radar but, somewhat unsurprisingly, the world has managed to get by without me.

But there was one story that I feel I just have to comment on. Yep, it is that spat between the female Labour Deputy Leadership candidates on the subject of handbags.

Say what you like about the Tories and their latest attempt to bicker like female teenagers in an all-girls school, but at least they are arguing over something that actually matters - how the kids in this country are educated. The Labour party? Well, judging by their leader's undignified farewell tour and the level of debate amongst the Deputy Leadership candidates, they are utterly washed out - they have lost their ideas, lost their drive, lost the will to govern. And the risible non-contest to succeed Prescott shows how screwed our government actually is.

The Labour Deputy Leadership candidates - making the case for involuntary euthanasia every day.
