The promises I wish New Labour wouldn't keep:

Blaspheming through the second term

No dreams - and little reality

New Labour's manifesto leaves nothing to the imagination. And that's the problem with it.

Low 'Ambitions for Britain'

New Labour's commitment to 'equality of worth' is worse than worthless.

Baby bondage
