Indeed so Peter-how soon before Old Labour joins Old Liberal in a proper Left of Centre Party?-then we’ll all know where we are again like in the good old days!

Given that education is one of the primary functions of Local Government (especially in Scotland), I wonder how Clegg’s announcement is going down with all those LibDem Education committees up and down the country?

Clegg has just announced his education policy-less state control & open up the supply side to private/third sector…….ie = Conservative Policy.

So the centre right position is getting a little crowded with all three main parties moving there!!

They’re all preaching “choice”-but not it seems for the British voter.

John Charlesworth

Until the latest government gaff(Hain) the year had started well for Brown. He was in the media nearly every day announcing something or other.
But once again another bad story(Hain’s donations) have probably undone all his good work.

Brown would look stronger in the public’s eyes if he sacks Hain asap otherwise this story will run and run and hurt the Government even more.
