Perfectly on cue, Peter Mandelson popped up in print yesterday with a
silky appeal for people to keep faith with the New Labour project. The
results of the recent elections, he wrote, "should neither surprise
nor dismay the party". One can only hope that the private advice he is
reported to be offering the prime minister is rather more candid.
There has been no immediate clamour for regime change at number 10 in
the wake of some truly dismal results for Labour. But it requires a
crystal ball of only low wattage to see that, one way or another, the
next few months will settle the question of the prime minister's
long-term future.
