So Brown has a “vision“, does he? If one wished to be cruel, one could compare this to his actual vision – or rather, lack of it: he is blind in one eye and the other hardly sees well…

But the biggest issue is that this “vision” is the third or fourth “relaunch” (or should it be referred to as the re-re-re-relaunch?) so if they truly believe in this stuff, why has it taken then twelve years of Labour rule to bring it in? Yes, ten were under Blair but Brown himself has been PM for two years and he was preparing to take over all the way through Blair’s decade!

What this is is Labour’s manifesto for the next general election (which we’re still waitin for, thanks Gordo). A package without a price tag, but one we’ll have to pay anyway – just not until after the election.
