Until someone bites the bullet, slashes spending, and does the difficult pro-growth reforms this country desperately needs, we will continue to have a ridiculous carousel of Prime Minsters.
The truth is the Prime Minister could have survived the Mandelson scandal if people felt better off in their pockets.
While there’s no growth, there’s no longevity of political tenure.
Blair survived plenty of scandal, and plenty of Mandelson, ultimately because everything in life’s wider context didn’t feel so desperately shit.
Until we have a political class brave enough to end the overspending, liberalise the labour market, and *actually* overhaul the planning system - we’re going to be stuck in this same psychodrama of doom.

Let’s re-elect an outstanding and principled local MP, running on a progressive local and national manifesto to take us forward. Vote @ZacGoldsmith#GetZacBack
Corbyn can become PM without gaining a single seat tomorrow. He just needs 12 Cons to lose to the LibDems & SNP. If you send me back to Parliament, you will be helping stop the Corbyn coalition - and as a bonus you’ll have an MP who will continue to deliver for our community.
