Talk to the hand, because Iran isn’t listening.

They can talk to the hand, or talk to who or what ever they want to, but nothing any of the worlds political leaders can say will make President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad change. He is still going to be the puppet dangling at the end of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s strings, the Iranian supreme leader, and he isn’t up for election.

However, there is no proof that the election result has been manipulated. And there wont be any proof, since no one has access to the full election results, most likely because the ballots haven’t actually been counted. Talk to the hand, because Iran isn’t listening.

Time to call it a day, Mr. Brown.

After five cabinet resignations in one day, isn’t it about time for Gordon Brown to take a hint and just give up? Can’t he see that this isn’t working? Not for him, Labour or the country. Brown’s leadership seems to have been doomed from day one, when he was hit with a world in financial turmoil. Then came the Damien McBride affair. Then the Gurkha’s. And then the biggest and most damaging scandal of them all; MPs expenses. Time to call it a day, Mr. Brown.

The British public wants revenge.

The British public is turning on it’s elected MPs as the expenses scandals continues. A window is smashed, a garden is vandalized and vengeance is demanded from the Westminster representatives. Many people feel that the greed in Westminster is ‘not politics, but theft’, and the pressure is mounting on Brown to call a general election. The British public wants revenge.

Worst Labour performance since 1943.

An opinion poll carried out for the Mail on Sunday gave Labour the worst result since 1943.  Carried out on Thursday and Friday it gave Labour 23 % while the Conservatives got 45%. That is enough for a landslide victory if repeated at an election. This paints a bleak picture for Gordon Brown, who faces a parliamentary election due by mid-May 2010. That is not a long time for Labour to turn things around, and with one scandal following the next, it seems impossible at this point in time. Worst Labour performance since 1943.

Gordon Brown wants the ties between Britain and Pakistan to become stronger to help fight the threats posed by extremism and terrorism. Speaking in Islamabad, the Prime Minister called for a ‘strategic dialog on all issues’. The visit to Pakistan suffered a blow when President Zardari pulled out of a joint press conference, amid tensions over recent anti terror raids. The press conference went ahead with prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani instead, whom with Brown also held talks. Brown wants stronger ties with Pakistan.

According to newspaper reports, Gordon Brown has only got two things right over the last nine months. That is not a good track record for a prime minister, and especially not when he was used to having an almost cult status as Chancellor of the Exchequer having made British Economy one of the best in the world. The spotlight does not favour Gordon Brown.
