Who to blame? Well perhaps it's a bit early for that, but I might as well get in first. It's the fault of Brown, the Labour cabinet, the banks and Clegg.
Brown for forcing out Blair and then being absolutely bloody hopeless at being a leader. Indecisive, weak and, sadly, duplicitous. The cabinet is to blame for not standing against Brown and then being too supine to take him on when things went wrong. The ambition was there because they nearly all wanted to be deputy leader, but killer instinct? No. And then they had a second chance last June when James Purnell walked out, but they ducked out of that too.
The irony of Tory-supporting bankers causing the biggest financial crisis in living memory and bringing down a Labour government is also worth noting.
And Clegg? Fresh and smart enough to cause a diversion but no substance or party to back it up when it came to the crunch. And his strong showing in the TV debates has definitely split the anti-Tory vote.
Over to you, Cameron and Osborne, your five years start tomorrow. Now, what was that you said about VAT?
