Labour take my breath away
Labour’s hypocrisy is simply breathtaking. Even after ten years, it never fails to astonish me.
Today’s Sunday Times has two pieces that have got my goat. Oliver Letwin has given an interview where he says that he has “no hang ups” about the use of the private sector in the NHS. A “Labour strategist” (hold on, I thought they were moving away from spin?) is then quoted as saying “they are the same old Tories underneath who believe private sector good, public sector bad”.
This in the same week as an NHS strike because LAbour has just handed over NHS logisitcs to DHL for £2 billion!!
Then comes the increasingly silly John Reid saying the Tories are soft on terror. So what is he doing? Well, he’s going to review Britain’s counterterrorist capacity (we’ve been calling for a Department of Homeland Security for four years); bring in “tighter immigration controls” (we called for that in 2005 and they called us racist); and ID cards (Blair says they are to stop identity theft and Charles Clarke admitted they were not a counter-terrorist tool).
If they carry on like this, Rory Bremner will be out of business.
