Government spending has to have some correlation with ‘left’ and ‘right’, surely.

Blair tried to veto the Hillsborough inquiry as a favour to Murdcoch. He's a ****.

You underestimate his popularity.
If Blair was standing against Corbyn and May, he'd probably win another landslide.

Well new labour was niether left or right really, this apparent 3rd way, they had seems to have been able to do that and works if the economy is good, but without controls on the financial industry could leave you skint if a rare global economic crash happened.
Shit that did happen.

The details change as the centre moves, but the nature/nurture debate will always characterise them.What constitutes left and right-wing cannot be cast in stone, surely.
You really think so? at a quick glance this is the latest poll I can find and yes a lot has happened in that year and a bit but I wager despite all that his ratings have changed little.

Of course. Given the right air time and publicity he'd slam it.
To be honest though that isn't saying much. There's a half eaten chicken drumstick next to me that could stand against May and Corbyn and probably win a decent share of the votes

No it didn't. When the crash happened it was slightly lower than it was when Blair came to power.Government spending as a % of GDP went through the roof under New Labour. Not much less than ‘Old Labour’ in the 70s at its peak.
Stick to the nightlife of Nottingham. At least you have decent in-depth knowledge of that. ;-)

Ah yes.
Me suggesting that a man who never lost an election could win another election is a cult whereas the Corbynista belief that a man who was roundly rejected by the electorate in the last election is our best chance of winning is perfectly rational.

Nowt wrong with encouraging people to vote labour that year, we all did.
The sickening thing there was that fucking rag of a newspaper being remotely associated with our party.

Well considering your last sentence that says little for him even were it true,but it isn't.Of course. Given the right air time and publicity he'd slam it.

From the taint of Iraq to the disasters of the PFI which under his leadership despite all the warnings he adopted with relish and since he went the sense that surrounds him and his family of greed,and an air of corrupt superiority,no people are now more savvy to things and the age of deference has long gone thank god,people are definitely more aware.... don't Cherie and Euan have a large property portfolio in the north west?
No he will never be trusted again.
