There was no choir giving us 'Zadok the Priest', but the elevation of Gordon (the big clunking fist) Brown to the status of Prime Minister elect was something of a coronation.
The fact that a left candidate from within the Labour party couldn't even get on to the ballot paper surely tells us that any notional loyalty to the working class, which some Labour supporters were clinging to, has gone completely and forever. There is no way back from this that leads left, the bridge is burnt.
All those, like TKMax, who believe that, as puny district councillors in opposition, they can present any challenge to the inexorable rightward stampede of the Labour party are either liars, clinging to their Labour rosettes in the hope of being able to re-join the gravy train, or fools.
For better or worse we have got Big Humble Gordy, and he has much to be humble about when we consider the growing inequality he has created.

Read Peter Wilbys latest offering at the New statesman. GB could be running into some serious difficulties.
thanks ZZ.. The model of government we have certainly seems inadequate for the future we face and collective solutions seem to be called for both nationally and internationally.
