return

we are in dark dire times. we need something or someone to rescue us.
cometh the time, cometh the man.
politics very own panto villain has returned to the stage. oh yes peter mandelson is back and no doubt this time he means to stay (well they say third time is the charm).
mandelson is new labour’s very own version of jeffrey archer, you know you shouldn’t like him, you know there is little to recommend him, but you just can’t help admiring the sheer front, the sheer gall. mandelson is one of the architects of the new labour project, and for that alone he deserves thanks. having said that he also embodies some of the worst elements of new labour: the love of big business and the love of wealth.
quite how he is going to help gordon brown and labour is not clear. still at least there will be some smiles ahead.
