Floundering On The Northern Rock

In the House of Commons yesterday, Mark Field, Tory MP for the Cities of London and Westminster, objected in the strongest possible terms to the Government's help for Northern Rock, since the employees and small shareholders are in the North East. Good to see the Tories becoming a national party again.

Meanwhile, how will the Lib Dems' approach influence their attempts to keep control of Newcastle City Council, especially when set alongside their ethnic cleansing of the working class there?

Every burnt out car and boarded up shop front in the North East cries out for a proper Opposition to New Labour. Where is it? Here, that's where. And nowhere else at all.
