Raring to rebuild; are you with us Gordon?

Gordon Brown has been asked by LabOUR Commission members and others to support an open and transparent policy consultation from now on. The letter can be seen here. To win the next election in the light of last night's election results, putting Labour third on 24% of the vote so far, will require a herculean effort. He could rely on his prowess as a manager of the economy, and the consoling thought that this is just mid-tem blues.

As a prudent man, you would have thought this was the time when he would want to make sure loyal Labour supporters were behind him - not to knife him in the back, but to get Labour's message across better in the pubs, at work and the corner shop.

There were too many of us out campaigning (and not for the first time) who are doing so despite Labour in government. Now is the time to ask: are you with us Gordon, or willing to risk opposition by pretending to listen,  but actually ignoring us?

I have just heard Harriet Harmon speak mind you I heard her all night.

What did she just come out with, we will be looking at the Tories policies. in fact we will be looking deep into Tory policies.

Harriet we do not care what the Tories your in power not the Tories tell us what your going to do.

Brown says he will ask the people, phew it now looks more and more like a John Major government.

Labour need to get back to the ideals for which I voted for them, the protection of the most vulnerable, I do not want to see people with serious mental health problems pushing trolleys in Asda or Tesco for the rest of their lives not knowing what they are doing. We have in Asda a young lad I helped out when he was in school, he walks around Asda now with a trolley not knowing what he is doing. he collects trolleys but spends four hours a day just pushing the same trolley, is this Labour idea of working for your benefits it's not mine.

By all means give us jobs real jobs, because right now Cameron looks the best bet.

become Labour not a copy of the Tories.
