The party's over

Labour people are in despair, the grassroots organisation in a state
of collapse and it's all Blair's fault
Monday August 2, 2004

Reflecting on the dimming days of Labour's most difficult
parliamentary year since 1997, I remain amazed at Tony Blair's
survival. Chained to the rock of Iraq, our own latter-day Prometheus
was released from his torment, not by Hercules, but by Howard.
The double whammy of the Butler report and disastrous byelection
figures should have put the prime minister on the ropes. Instead,
thanks largely to the ineptitude of the leader of the opposition, our
hero can relax in Sir Cliff Richard's holiday hideaway without an
apparent political care in the world.
