Survival but at what price? 1:46pm on 06 Jun 2009 welcome back to the reality derekbarker:

labour are finished under brown - a man who has lost all authority and has no ideas for the future.

the remains of brown's cabinet are a wretched collection of serial failures and unelected toadies - not one of them is fit to run the country.

in his disgraceful press conference yesterday afternoon he waffled on about expenses reform - yet is powerless to remove the expenses cheats from his own cabinet.

still, your deluded ramblings are a moment of light relief for the rest of us until we can finish labour off at the general election in 12 months time.

now derek - lets hear about where labours 5% poll lead? were you talking about a 5% poll lead over the lib dems or the tories?
Three extraordinary personal decisions 12:03pm on 05 Jun 2009 No general election for 12 months now then...

All the calls for an early general election are fruitless - Brown isnt going to face the public until he has to. Brown knows the game - the economy is very likely to be out of recession by then, he is going to get some credit for this, and one suspects, that is all we will hear from him for the last 6 or so months of this parliament.
'Quietly and doggedly' 10:30am on 05 Jun 2009 All this proves is that Browns authority is shot to pieces
Mervyn and leverage 10:42am on 21 Jan 2009 #17

"Out of interest does anyone know of an economy that did not go the low interest route 2001 through 2007, or are all politicians only interested in short term maintenance of power?"

Australia and NZ had higher interest rates than the UK throughout, I think the current bank rate in NZ is 5% and like us they have cut theirs substantially in recent months.

Although the bank rates were higher down under they still experienced a housing boom, but it wasn't as extreme as our one.

Australia and NZ are feeling the pinch just like every other country, but they are not facing nearly as many difficulties as the UK/US as they don't have to keep their banks on life support.

Interestingly, the outgoing Labour goverment in NZ left a budget surplus, how I wish it was the same in the UK!
Election fever 11:29am on 16 Dec 2008 Brown? Early election? Hmm.. That sounds familiar. What are the odds on brown bottling it again?
No safe haven for the PM 10:34am on 26 Jul 2008 This latest election defeat is just another nail in an already well-sealed coffin for Brown and Labour.
