I would love for someone to put forward a convincing argument on why Gordon Brown should stay as leader of this Party.

After all this time I have only heard one: that the Party can’t afford a leadership election. My mate David reminded me earlier. That’s hardly the inspiring clarion call – but can someone come up with a good argument that he should stay?

So the question is this: Who could possibly blame us for making changes after a loss like this?

Colleagues, I hope we’re paying attention and taking note of what the Tories say and write these days. To avoid complete hypocrisy - the criticism they level at the Government now, should be the standard they are rigidly held to later.

If we do, the next Tory government could be a one term affair - unless of course the Tories are genuine - which I doubt.

From the Tory Diary at Conservativehome:

Compassionate Conservatism is fundamentally the right thing to do, morally, but there are two different forms of electoral politics at work here, too.  An agenda for the very poorest will win few direct votes but tells middle class and other comfortable voters that the Conservatives are a decent party that won't leave people behind.

Q. Who said this in an interview with the Observer in 2003?

From the organiser at Headline Publishing:

There will be a Q&A with John Prescott and Michael White on 29th May in Gower St. London WC1E 6BT

What will it take to restore the Party's reputation and popularity?

From Huffington Post.

It is, of course, brilliant. One of the most appropriate speeches I've ever read. This honest and challenging approach is why I'm a fan.
