QUOTE OF THE DAY - Looks can kill

Memo to Labour: please think about how it looks

"Please be mindful about how this looks."

Gould is 22. Her father is Philip Gould, the pollster who can count himself as one of New Labour's founders. Straight out of Oxford and currently a postgrad student at the LSE, her wafer-thin CV includes some work on Barack Obama's election campaign, and a part-time job at Tony Blair's Faith Foundation

Credit where due.

I feel I have witnessed some actual reporting going on after a long while of narratives being enhanced and events interpreted.

However, it still feels quaint that even as I write, the great a good of Labour are still saying 'What Gordon needs to do now...' as if yet another set of deckchairs will make any difference as he sets his moral compass on the next iceberg.

And I doubt having a pretty new thing singing along to the band form the creche is going to help too much, especially when any passengers not already a tad miffed find out she has no clue on anything and is merely there to grab a place on the lifeboats until the next boat comes along.
