Quote of the day

He must think we're stupid. According to The Times (here):

The Prime Minister vowed yesterday to do whatever it took to clean up the system.
“I pledge to you that the country will be proud of the Labour candidates that stand at the next general election,” he said. “We will show that everything possible has been done to ensure that the public is satisfied about our political system and we will not shrink from any action that is necessary to achieve that.”
