We all kind of knew about GB/TB's deal of course, but I think it's awful that Gordon has aligned himself with Piers - that's just going too far

All this subterfuge coming out at the moment makes you wonder if they do want to get re-elected.

I don't think they do I think they have decided that they will leave the large pile of steaming bovine excreta for somebody else to sort out.

Whomever is left running the country next year will have their work cut out. I anticipate another property crash wiping out another 30% of home values. If the Tories get savage with cuts then make that a 40% drop, then the repossessions will rocket. When that happens watch the buy to let investments go up in flames. So far Darling has been very lucky that it has not all collapsed on his watch. Though the stock market is looking very dicey and that will probably slump before the election guaranteeing a Tory win, and a lost decade for Britain.

Amazing how GB decides to give an interview like this just before the election to appear more human. I think using his daughter's death as an election stunt is despicable.

The very existence of the deal just shows what contempt those two have for democracy.

I seriously doubt that it was his choice. Newspapers want a human side for their interviews. If they asked I cant see how he would say no. Both the main leaders have their bad points. Cameron certainly milked his child's death. What do you expect they are politicians and they want our vote.

Yes but its a sorry state of affairs if such practice is going on.
