Credit Where Credit Is Due

Two of New Labour's crappier projects have just been cancelled.

There will be no further action on ID cards and all plans for a third runway at Heathrow have been abandoned.

Thank you, fellas.

Good start! Shame it is almost all fellas though.

I've noticed that too.

Theresa May seems to be the only gal they've asked to the party.

Well, that's good news!

At the moment it seems like, whatever it does over the coming months, our new governemnt has just won my undying gratitude.

I don't expect this feeling to last.

(Now you can try to avoid the suspicion that something else is about to undercut all that gratitude . . .)

We'll take it one day at a time...

Hurray for those two. It's almost enough to make me conservative (but not quite).

I don't think anything could ever induce me to vote conservative, but I'm happy to applaud when they get things right.

Next step

The next step, of course, is to cut the deficit by cutting government spending. What is the government spending money on that it needn't? Two obvious things: Trident and the war in Afghanistan.

I couldn't agree more.

But I understand the Lib Dems have agreed to back down over Trident.
