Beautiful. Blair’s Education Bill gets through Parliament, but only with the support of Opposition MPs. What an amazing choice David Cameron made: there’s every chance he could have finished Blair off by letting the Bill fail – Labour MPs alone wouldn’t have given Blair the numbers – but by keeping the Blue side all Ayes, he’s co-opted the education agenda for himself and weakened Blair further, allowing him no room to manovre. Wonderful bit of politics.
Contrast that to recent happenings in the USA, where Representatives are in uproar because the FBI raided a Congressman’s office (what, like they’re above the law or something?) The title of a hearing on the matter next week: “Reckless Justice: Did the Saturday Night Raid of Congress Trample the Constitution?” Now that’s what I call fair and balanced.
