SINCE the departure of Tony Blair, the Labour Party has lost its way.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown lacks Tony's sparkle and charm.
Labour today resembles the Conservative Party during John Major's premiership. Out of touch with the people, muddled policies and a lack of direction.
Tory leader David Cameron mocks Mr Brown's decision to abolish the 10p income tax rate. Yet he would favour high wage earners, not the lower paid.
Only the Liberal Democrats voted against this income tax change.
Councillor Ben Ord, Liberal Democrat, Spennymoor.
