Now at last it’s time. Time to forget the grievances and grumbles a government in power produces. Time to forget that it could and should have done more to transfer power and wealth to working people.
Time to forget Gordon’s grumbling ineptitude and obvious exhaustion. Time to forget that no candidate is perfect and particularly not this one

It worked well until suddenly wham, bang, growl and if came out half bitten off. Two doors down another wolf hound took another sliver. Then a third. Linda will you buy me another spatula.

Mistakes.
I got her latest pamphlet to tell me what she’s going to do for pensioners like me.
l) She’s going to see that the basic state pension keeps up with the cost of living. She’ll be glad to learn that it already does. By law. And the last increase put it slightly ahead.

Exhaustion setting in. Can I stand the pace? “They’re off” yells the press. They’ve been off for years reply the pundits. Gordon has launched an election campaign for a party called New Labour which I thought was as dead as the SDP. The next door neighbours have kindly put up a poster saying vote De Freitas (not Khan this time) and knocked £2000 off the value of my house. I’ve canvassed

Not long now for this wretched parliament to live. March already and a rush of legislation most of which will never pass.
At the end of the month, perhaps Tuesday 23rd March, the budget with (let us pray) a few rabbits out of the hat.
