He can't stop creating dividing lines

On Monday the Prime Minister said to the PLP that he would change his style. But it is so difficult for him, and two days later he's proved that he cannot.

His Democratic Reform Council, packed full of Labour members, has met once and for 90 minutes. In that time they've decided that Electoral Reform should be back on the agenda, funny how Labour is interested now it is in danger of being the third party in the UK.

They also decided that Government papers should be released after 20 years rather than 30 years, which funnily enough would enable all the papers for the Thatcher Government to be released in one go. They obviously want lots of embarrassing details to be in the open just in time for the GE.

So there's some more dividing lines, he just can't stop himself.

I'm also expecting there to be a full review of the Iraq war to be announced in the next few days, and I guess the results will be announced next June, so that the remit is set by this Government but they don't have to face the consequences. Maybe I'm just a cynic.

Squiffy.
