Half-right (well sort of)

The Ealing and Sedgfield results were definitely signs of a continued Brown bounce and were not a good night for my party - but while the Lib Dems defied my predictions and did OK on the night, the opinion polls in the Sunday papers still show their vote being squeezed on a national basis.

So going into the summer (?) break it looks like Labour have the most to crow about with both other parties needing to do some work. The lesson for my party muct be to turn the proposals from the Conservative policy groups which are now reporting into concrete policies with which to fight any Spring 2008 election.
