The rapid rebuttal unit over at Militant Moderate swung into action almost as soon as I'd posted yesterday - so a hat tip to them.

Laban has a thought-provoking piece on Longbridge and the Rover administration.

Whatever happens we must do more to ensure those who lose out of this are offered new opportunities.

For now though, you may enjoy this triumphant jingoism fresh from the US of A! Then again, you may well not...
