The rapid decline of the Tory party is a malignant metamorphosis, a sorry descent into impotent obscurity which beggars belief.

Is it really less than a decade since the lady who was 'not for turning' was ignominiously ejected from No 10 by a rabble of jealous, incompetent political pygmies?

There's still more than three years before William Hague fulfils his destiny by losing the next General Election. How the mighty are fallen - and how the mills of God grind exceeding fine! Does Labour rule for the foreseeable future?

It is indeed an impediment to the democratic process of government to perpetuate an era of an impotent Opposition in the House of Commons.
