The right candidate

The future of the Labour Party

I've been fairly rude about the electability, appearance, hygiene and even the policies of the Old Pretender Gordon Brown. Yet there has never been a suitable candidate to oppose him. Clarke, Reid, Milliband: all have fallen before the mighty Brownian motion. Yet, cometh the hour, cometh the man. Step forward Michael Meacher - the fruitcake's choice for Labour leader. OK so 9/11 was engineered by aliens in the pay of Halliburton, fine, global warming will lead to palm-trees in Berwick-on-Tweed - but can the Labour Party afford to spurn such a statesman?

In any event, the Reptile has found his candidate of choice for the Labour leadership. It's just a crying damn shame that Screaming Lord Sutch isn't still around to run for deputy.
