When all the analysis and spinning is over and done with Labour has won the 2005 Election.
I tell you, as we sat in the beer garden on 30 April 1997, if someone had said "In eight years and five days time, Labour will win a thrid term with a majority of XX" - where XX is at least 36 40 54 58, I am sure we would have said "Nah, give over, you having us on."
First reaction, a big sigh of relief. First objective, Stop the Tories. Massive sigh of relief that the investment in public services won't be cut off in full flow.
More considered reaction when I am not so sleep deprived. I would go to bed but I'm expecting the gas man between 8 and 1 because the thermostat has gone. Well, if you put the heating on, or even the water, the radiators blast out hot hot hot. Not clever as spring will eventually turn to summer.
