Poor Man About Town

Woke up, Blair was re-elected; although the majority was considerably reduced, it is still workable to around sixty seats and he still has carte blanche to completely kill off the last vestiges of socialism and the welfare state in this country. The good news is that Oona King, fashion victim and Blair toady, has been unseated by George Galloway. It was originally a safe labour seat, but Galloway knew that its vulnerabilities and took advantage of them. The biggest vulnerability was Oona King herself, not very vocal in the House and very toady with it. Diane Abbott, for all her faults, could have certainly held her own in this seat; King just does not have the charisma or the power to stand up to George Galloway.
