New Labour Leader: Tory Reaction

Just found a Tory circular in my email putatively from Baroness Warsi. Here's the important bit (my italics):
On behalf of all of us in the Conservative Party, I congratulate Ed Miliband on his election as Leader of the Labour Party.

He will have many challenges ahead in these next few days, but if he wants to be taken seriously, the first thing he's got to do is own up to his role in creating the mess that Britain is in and tell us what he'd do to fix it.

From advising Gordon Brown in the Treasury in the 90s, to serving in his Cabinet in the 2000s, he must recognise his central role in creating the financial mess we're all paying for.

For the past five months, all we've heard from Labour is knee jerk opposition to our plans to tackle the deficit. Now is the time for Mr Miliband to tell us what he'd do instead. He promised us a Labour spending plan before the spending review, now we'd all like to see it.

The new Labour leader now has a clear choice. He can either serve the national interest by joining with us and the Liberal Democrats and set out how he would cut the deficit, or he can stand on the sidelines and refuse to engage with the biggest challenge facing Britain in decades.

The fact that Ed Miliband owes his position to the votes of the unions does not bode well. At the moment this looks like a great leap backwards for the Labour Party.
Spot on. Miliband Minor, the one who sounds like he's underwater when he talks, can't be permitted to wriggle his party out of its responsibility for the massive economic, social and foreign policy calamities its previous leadership and cabinet wrought on this country. Miliband Minor must also be brought to book the instant he caves in to his militant socialist union backers.

Personally, I expect the Coalition to treat this latest Labour clown with the contempt he so richly deserves. I know I will.

  1. In Europe, particularly thosee Marxist-led Countries of the kind as espoused by Milliband the nasty senior, (a vicious and thoroughly unpleasant character I am told) they have a long and inglorious history of connecting piano-wire, failed Politicians and lamposts.

    I look forward to watching a very painful, extended but very welcome death of Labour as a Political force - hopefully forever.

    In any other Country than the UK, the former Regime would have been tried for various offences against the State and removed from the gene pool. This is one of the few occasions when I really do wish we had a Marxist Government.

    Anyway prepare to see Millipede senior bale out shortly. Maybe he will pick up a new job as a monkey in the zoo ?

  2. Yes to all.

    And Millipede Senior will be yet another taxpayer-funded, well-fed monkey in the Brussels zoo, Old Timer. Euro-socialists take care of their pets very well.

    Top points on the electricity thing (previous post), by the way.
