Thank God for that. I hope it gets resolved soon.

it's only because he has took a battering in the past week or so,all the bloke is doing is buying himself some time,it's called lip service he is trying to make it look as if he is doing something,this man has been a disaster for the labour party everytime he wiggles out of something there is a bigger calamity just around the corner,i think the loids must have put a curse on him

Having a meeting though does absolutely nothing unless this mess is sorted out.

He can't afford any more embarassments like this because when he does decide to call an election, I fear he could very well lose it.

Since he took over from Blair, I thought he was very unlucky because one thing after another happened (Glasgow bomb theat, the floods, Foot and Mouth etc).

Unlucky he followed a man who took us into an illegal war and he was part of that office. He is a joker with about as much charisma as a potato. The Gurkhas, rubbish budget, expenses, and crippling debt which he caused. He is not unlucky just inept.

Tom Lumley?

The second part out of that is right. He was unlucky until the expenses U-Turn and became inept about the Gurkhas.

so you saying a man who has thrown good money after bad and nearly crippelled the country with massive debt causing a recession and families having to cut back etc isnt a joker. How has he been unlucky exactly, all of his problems and shortcomings have been brought on himself. And he was made to look like a right tit on youtube

Well, I had sympathy for him at the start because when he came in somebody tried to attack Glasgow Airport, theflodding happened across Yourkshire and the South West of England, Foot and Mouth reared it's ugly head again and he just looked helpless.

But the most stupidest thing was going back on promising you were going to fight corruption, after looking like an idiot on YouTube.

By the way, that classic video is here:
