A gem of a quote from LabourList:
Talking about a leadership challenge now simply aids David Cameron. What Labour now needs is for Brown to deliver some new and positive messages, which connect with people on the ground and take the fight to the Conservatives.
You know what? Talking about a leadership challenge does aid David Cameron. It increases the instability of the government and paints the picture of a party divided. But not having a leadership election also helps David Cameron - since it leaves Gordon Brown in power. It is always going to help the opposition if the government is headed by someone who is effectively a toxic millstone around their necks.
And it has been a long wait for Gordon Brown to deliver some "new and positive messages". In fact, we've been waiting ever since he came into power and said he wasn't calling an election because he wanted to spell out his ideas. After several years of nothing happening it seems a little hopeful to suddenly expect Gordon to become a charming, visionary spokesperson brimming with new ideas.
But it is nice to see this LabourList writer setting out their plan for Labour: get behind Gordon and hope for the best. Which is rather, for Labour at this moment in time, hoping that pigs might fly...

Politicians still don't get it. I think the key phrase in what that labourlist writer says is "finding policies that CONNECT with voters."
It's not about connecting with voters, because in order to connect all politicians have to do is TALK about future policies. Talking about them isn't enough, we've had 12 years of talking and connecting with voters, what we want is concrete action. We want them to actually grow a fucking pair and put their bloody money where their mouths are. Otherwise they are just meaningless words and infuriating spin.
For the love of God, start saying what you mean and mean what you say, and start putting in place policies that you are actually going to follow through with. Policies that will help the ordinary working man and make a real difference to people. Time to start being HONEST
