I am disappoint.
I was filled with hope on election day, dashed immediately by the doom and gloom of a financial black hole. They might have settled some pay disputes and jailed some racist rioters, but they have hardly hit the ground running with a host of dramatic reforms impacting health, education, welfare, social care, justice, prisons, housing, and so on.
With all the years of preparation, I expected more. After all, Blair’s first hundred days involved some excitement.
Now, with a triumphant Labour conference about to start, there is an expenses scandal, a crony pay scandal, a sense of entitlement scandal and reported infighting at the top.
All these politicians are the same, aren’t they?
