This Is The Winter Of Our Discontent
Wildcat strikes are spreading across the UK as Brown's "British jobs for British workers" is thrown back in his face with a warning of a "social timebomb leading to civil unrest and soaring crime". Where's our illustrious leader? Swanning around as last Davos Man, droning on about global economics. Lose touch with reality and you lose touch with people.

Not Just A Bail-Out, A Mandy Bail-Out
When is a car bail-out not a car bail-out? When it's announced in the Lords by Brown's deputy Mandelson. It must be galling for MPs to hear about the latest government "loans for cars" scandal from the BBC but hey, that's democracy for you.
