Tick tock

Oh dear. It's a bad sign when even some of Labour's staunchest defenders in the blogosphere are calling for Blair and Prescott to step down. It's something I've felt for a while, and not because of Iraq, but the continuous pig-headed refusal of the government to admit that there are serious problems at home, both in the cabinet and in the police force. The net has been closing in for awhile now, but with Lord Levy being the latest and biggest fish to be caught, I'm not sure how Blair can keep blindly supporting these people and expect Labour to have a prayer of winning the next election. To be honest I feel that the damage has already been done and that Cameron, for better or for worse, will end up making it to Number 10 by 2008. But two years is a long time in politics, and surely Blair owes it to his party to at least give them a fighting chance by stepping down now, before the end of this year.
