"B*llocks!": Darling comes out fighting

Ricki when Michael Howard was Tory leader he decided to go for Gordon Brown's JUGULAR from day one and with the aid of the Tory press and some of the LABOUR BACK STABBERS the Tories have done a good job at the Brown snuff out.We in this country dislike the Welsh, Scots and Irish.We hated Kinnock and then Brown.Labour does not STAND a chance of getting back into power unless the party leader is English we like no one else but our selves which is so sad in the modern world

Alastair Darling is top

So we carry on in the same way and end up with a huge election defeat.

The Government needs new ideas and a fresh approach. New Labour looks stale and beyond its sell-by date.

Its time to concentrate on our traditional working-class supporters and their interests and not the trendy middle-class Islington types who have dominated the party since phoney Tony took over in the mid-90s with their cappuccino politics - all froth and no substance.

Why does the phrase 'like being savaged by a wet sheep' spring to mind?

We see too much in the media the talk of the Tories being "the government in waiting" and talk of Labour being destroyed at the election. But, of course, no one will know for sure until after election day. And with so many Labour MPs seemingly throwing in the towel the public gets the impression that Labour does not *want* to win, hence why should Joe Public bother voting for Labour?

That would give Cameron power without a fight. We cannot allow that. Personally I will fight and fight hard for a Fourth Term.

Yes, I believe the Chancellor said somthing similar to Fraser Nelson when interviewed in the Spectator.

You have failed to control it. That is why the government does not know how many legal and illegal migrants are in the country. It is why Baroness Scotland had to write the law that has just cost her £5000 and her career - they don't know who is here.

Sarah - I agree wholeheartedly that it is not over until the ballot closes.

Why are people who say they support Labour their own worse enemies. They are often ill-informed and quite willing to accept myths and nonsense spread by our enemies as "reality" or "facts" instead of challenging people to come up with the evidence. Rules governing migration have been rigorously tightened up - some of us would suggest, with a lack of humanity - and yet even our own supporters seem to think we have failed to control immigration.

He shouldn't calm down. We need some people with fire in their bellies to help us on the ground to come out fighting.

We've achieved a lot, the tories will be a disaster and it's not over til the ballot box closes.

Alex: if the EU elections swing to the SNP is repeated in May 2010, Darling is out of a job, finished, kaput so no wonder he is squealing like a stuck pig.

Sadly rather than taking the action he and his cabinet colleagues should have taken last October when Bottler Brown bottled it yet again, he is now reaping the whirlwind. Clarke maybe a grumpy, passed over buffoon but it does not necessarily make him wrong every time.

Time for conference to attach its "Dogbert's external spines" and tell the platform how it is, not how Millbank wants people to think it is. The Nu Labour machine has lost the plot, the voters know this, Labour activists know this, a majority of Labour MPs know this but like the Oomphalompha bird the Labour apparatchiks prefer to stick their heads up their backsides in the face of their oncoming demise with their strident but useless call of 'unity behind Gordon'.

Labour's vote share continues to collapse - that'll be voters know 'stupid' when they see it.

Hi labourlist

I have a lot of respect for Mr Darling last week i think he refused to spin the same line as The Primeminster. but i do think he is wrong , We need a leader who will connect with voters .
