Maybe Polly Toynbee can be like us!

Polly is not happy with Gordon Brown after yet another poor week for the PM. He was supposed to be in the middle of a new year relaunch. Anyway this is the best bit from polly, for more see here. (I still don't like her!)

"These are the images that the ghost of the election yet to come would summon up for Ebeneezer Scrooge Brown. Is it too late, Brown might ask the ghost. No, of course not. It's never too late for redemption - or "change" as Brown calls it without changing anything. For despite all this, the Tories are still only a few points ahead, nowhere near where they should be. That's some comfort, but frankly it's hard to believe enough people would turn out to vote for four more years of this. A pusillanimous cabinet bungles its safety-first policies, failing to appease unappeasable enemies while losing most of its friends. But imagine if Labour now reversed all this week's cornucopia of bad decisions. Look into the future - and avoid it."

If the PM and No.1 bunker can keep annoying their friends in the media like the above demonstrates they have, then they really will be in trouble.
