It now seems it’s all going pear-shaped for Tony Blair. I really think he suffered irreparable damage last night when he had to rely on Tory votes to get his education bill through. Surely this is a sign of a prime minister in his death throes.

Mind you, I am still voting labour. Cameron, for all his ‘nice guy’ image, is still a Tory, and is also anti-inclusion. This latter fact means I most definitely cannot vote for him, although I use that example as a metonym too.. It also leads me to strongly suspect that his ‘nice guy’ image is just that – an image. Beneath that Gilderoy Lockhart smile is still a Tory who believes in segregation, among many other foolish things. My one fear apropos politics today is that people will be taken in by this new charismatic Tory leader after looking at the sinking ship that the Blair government has become.

Thus I hope Blair resigns soon. Labour needs a new leader to defend against Cameron. Someone with charisma enough to win back voters, as I don’t think they realise a Tory with a nice smile is still a Tory.
