Today I am mostly having a day off. I will read the news but already I have heard the new Labour MP say the result sends a message to Mr Cameron that his measures are not working and his cuts are wrong etc., etc. You know, all the poorly thought through verbiage we are so used to.

It's tragic that some members of parliament seem so poor in their analysis and somehow conveniently seem to ignore the facts when it suits.

This new chappy has followed the party line I guess. It's a line that denies the incredible crisis created by his party's usual tax and spend excesses.

Ho hum. To borrow from a famous song sung by Marlene Deitrich, "When will they ever learn, when, will they ever learn?
