    George Osborne

    He's got to go. No credibility, no ideas, no vision. I've been thinking about this since reading Sir Alan Walter's obit.

    Not sure who's best to take his place though.

    I read something in the Times today about how he does not even get to speak on the economy now, DC takes care of it.

    Still, they believed his job was safe.

      Because he's an old school chum of Cameron, and if that's seen as the only reason it makes him an electoral liability.

          2 minutes into Darling speaking in the commons Ken Clarke would charge across the chamber and do a Big Daddy on the bawbag.

            Still remember the spitting image days of Ken Clarke giving speeches in the commons with a giant glass of whiskey, spilling it left and right, those were the days, Spitting Image rawked. Bring it baaaaaack! Can you imagine the michael taking that could be had at present?

            Gordon brown with his pants over his trousers, DC smugglign in kryptonite into the commons, The Dark Lord Marakesh Mandy in a Darth vader cloak breating heavily from the galleries watching on with intent!

              Is he better or worse than Let-win?

                Sadly, I feel lawsuits would be winging their way to the programme makers very quickly. How times change, and not necessarily for the better...
                Older and ...well, just older!!

                  Rather suggests hes exactly where he belongs then surely?

                  a 2:i in history, and a few months doing data input for the NHS, and little while working in a shop does not a chancellor make.
                  The Mods stole my post count!

                    The program makers were self-confessed Labour Luvvies. They packed up when Labour got their act together.

                    The Labour/Tory roles are more or less reversed now, and so I don't think they'd come back to ridicule Labour.
