Labour’s partisan points scoring has to stop

Quentin Letts - saying it how it is (whether we like it or not)

You won’t find me praising Quentin Letts very often but I would urge everyone to read his parliamentary sketch in the Daily Mail this week.

I don’t really need to say too much, but it does seem to me that if the Labour party continue endlessly along partisan lines the public will get tired of Brown et al puffing out their chests beating them to the tune of how right they are.

People will start to see through the tame efforts the Government have made with the Pre Budget Report which, despite Darling’s calmness, may ultimately come back to hurt them as people feel the pitch, realise prices are not going to go down and Labour are forced to reveal the extend to which taxes will have to, inevitably, rise – lest we forget that national debt (excluding PFIs) could now double.

Labour need to take stock and not get ahead of themselves. 

They are far from the finish line on this financial crisis, and unless they want to end up back where they were just a few months ago, they need to, as their own phrase goes: get on with the business of Government, not the business of blatant, abusive, partisan points scoring.

And as for Quentin, keep up the good work and who know’s, maybe one day it might transfer into your theatre reviewing.
