True Opposition will tame this Government and relight Tory fire

Short of a Damascene conversion to telling the truth - or avoiding the lie, which would be something to be going on with - we can now safely leave Tony Blair’s Government to its inevitable fate. After the first week in November 1998, it is now bracketed with second hand car salesmen in the league table of purveyors of credibility. Sooner or later it will become a joke and eventually it will end up a sick one in the voters’ eyes.
