Just got back from a little trip out. In the car with a mate who is a Conservative, we were listening to Kate Hoey on LBC. After she finished, my friend expressed the view that Labour were doomed at the next election. I shot back "If David Cameron woke up tomorrow to find Kate Hoey as PM & Frank Field as chancellor, I suspect that he may disagree". A look of horror came over my friends face. Just for a second, then he smiled. "That will never happen"
If I was a Labour MP and I wanted to keep my seat, I think maybe I'd disagree with him. She has credibilty & integrity. Field knows what he's doing & can make tough decisions. A dream team? I think so. I suspect that a few Tories do as well.
