Guido thinks John Prescott's words at his last appearance against William Hague may come to haunt him. I've also been sent some words by a correspondent which have proved particularly prescient, although we cannot find the source. We think it was from a past PMQs or a Hague speech or article. Anyone care to enlighten us? It comes from a time when Blair was the master of all he surveyed and ran something like...
"They may love you now, but that will become disillusionment and eventually they will come to despise you."
It would make a good quote for the back cover of the Little Red Book, dontcha think?

I've found this in his '99 conference speech:

The forces of Conservatism that will be keeping our nation free and proud and independent long after he and his cronies are written off by history as people without principle, purpose, belief or conviction.For when I spoke to you in this hall two years ago I said that New Labour would bring first fascination, then admiration, then disillusionment and finally contempt. At that stage the admiration was running high; now the disillusionment is beginning; and mark my words, they are not so far away from contempt. And so once again it is the Conservative Party that is hand in hand with the British people as we start a new century.For we believe in our country. We believe in a free and independent nation. We believe in the United Kingdom.

Dust it off.
At the very least make him Shadow Chancellor.
Fantastic, Mr Hague should take to writing the daily horoscopes!
He's regular nostradamus, ain't he. As a reminder: Mr W. Hague (who is married to his former private secretary) subsequently resigned as leader of the Tory Party after losing an election. Such as the public contempt for the Labour Party that the two men who followed him into that post also had to resign, one without even fighting an election.
I haven't heard any fat ladies singing.
