The problem is that he might not get ahead in the opinion polls again. Northern Rock will not exist by 2009 and nor, I suspect will Bristol & West inter alia. The dollar is in free fall and so to will be the pound if Brown doesn't tackle the impending financial problems.

If you don't take the latest round of cheap flight deals you might not get the opportunity again.

"It's the economy stupid." Never a truer statement. By the spring the situation we face will not be good. Brown might have the better policies compared to the Tories, but when the current problems start to bite nobody will believe him.

Petrol is over a pound a litre (£4.50 per gallon), bread has doubled in price, bank loans are up 4%, easy money has stopped as mortgage lenders have caught a serious cold, free banking is not available for new customers, RPI inflation is over 4% (CPI is still under 2%) - what will things be like in the near future?

Fancy an election.

I was in Tesco earlier today and notice that more things have gone up in price this week (on top of price rises on other items in the last year or two).

I read somewhere that some bottles of milk delivered to people's homes now cost 50 pence each.
