Didn't Tony Blair and Gordon Brown invite Margaret Thatcher to tea and go on about what a great leader she was? Scary. I have no doubt that she was even more of a 'bruiser' than Gordon Brown but I think most of us who grew up under Thatcher had hoped that New Labour would represent a different kind of politics and a fairer Britain. It is sad that they did not live up to this promise.

I haven't read Andrew Rawnsley's book but I am reading a book by the woman who exposed the MP's expenses scandal. Essential reading for anyone who thinks that there should be less bureacracy and greater transparency in Parliament. Our MP, by the way, has voted strongly against transparency in Parliament.

How did Mrs Duffy's hair appointment go in the end? She didn't go for a blue rinse did she?
