40 Things That Make You Embarrassed to be Labour

Labour Party chipmunk Chairwoman Hazel Blears is bombarding Labour Party members with emails containing a little list of 40 supposed achievements by the Labour Government since 1997. Forty is a bit of an odd number. You'd have thought in 9 years she could have come up with 100. The list is headlined "40 things that make you proud to be Labour". As you know, I have a softspot for Ms Blears, or Hazel as I like to call her. So I thought I'd tell you what she says in her personal appeal to Labour supporters. I'm like that you see.

It’s a tough time to be a Labour supporter. After a decade in office, no party can expect an easy ride from the voters or the media. But we have a fantastic story to tell about what we’ve achieved for our communities and for the people who gave us three election victories in a row. So let’s spend the summer telling it like it is: more jobs, better schools and hospitals, more police on the streets and falling crime, and a huge range of improvements and achievements.

Bless. And if she tells us it all often enough, I;m sure we'll all believe it, won't we? My little chipmunkHazel is also getting some help from an unexpected quarter in THIS new blog. It's in her name but she's a busy lady so I'm sure some kind person has helped her in her endeavour. I think it might become required reading.
