Last night I was privileged to see Lord Levy expatiating on why Gordon Brown should not be PM. I can think of lots and lots of reasons, but none would co-incide with Lord Levy's. His objection to GB appears to be that he hasn't any rich friends.
It was a fascinatingly nasty thesis, and what made it even more compelling was that it had not crossed its exponent's mind that having rich friends - even if a true sine qua non for power - is not a proper basis for power in a democratic society. That Tony has left, taking his rich friends with him doesn't alter his successor's right to be PM. And Lord Levy - a man without democratic mandate of any kind - should put up or shut up. I take it that he is free to take his money away, now that he has got his title. Perhaps he is peeved that some of his mates can't buy one; this is the only interpretation I can put on his objection to the PM's "not having rich friends of his own."
Nobody outside the Labour Party gives a shit that it is £20 million in debt. Although given what GB has done to the country in terms of evil PFS buildings, it is no surprise, it just doesn't matter to anybody but the labour party. People like Wilde and Sheridan made a career out of being fabulously broke, and I personally think that the ruling party going into bankruptcy would be edge-of-the-seat stuff. Rock on, I say.
