Comments on: Public Service Reform http://downingstreetsays.com/briefings/2005/11/14/1950 Every day the Prime Minister's Spokesman meets a small coterie of political journalists known as 'the lobby' for a topical chat, or 'briefing'.

Smoke and mirrors, mate, smoke and mirrors. Knighthoods and peerages all round, just you watch, its all horseshit, otherwise we wouldn't be in Eyerack in the first place, helping them skin people alive; an overwhelming majority of the PLP voted for it and anybody still in that gang and not resigned is a warmongering monster, no good giving them marks out of ten. We hanged people like them at Nuremburg. There was a phrase for what you and others are doing just now, thinking that a bunch of disgruntled ex-ministers are the new dawn of democracy, cast not your pearls before swine, that was it. I think Matthew, Mark, Luke and John said that. And that other dude. No, they’e not. Smoke and mirrors, mate, smoke and mirrors.

The PM is going to spend more time explaining the manifesto to the elected Labour MPs. Why does he actually bother? Is this because they had no part in creation of the manifesto, are thick, or just completely illiterate? Maybe all three? As to a dialogue, well it's the old 'mind over matter' routine....... There's a growing chasm between Her Majesty's Government (i.e. one Tony Blair) and the PLP, if indeed there was ever any real commonality of thought. However it's pleasing to see that some of the PLP are beginning to be capable of independent thought and comment. So, let’s get this.
