He may well be true in what he says, but replace Labour with Tory and he would also be telling the truth IMO.
However where he says Labour divides to rule and that:
"They will turn rich against poor. North against South. Worker against boss"
I think it is more fair to say the Tories
Will turn rich against poor, poor against poor. North against south, north against north. Worker against boss, worker against worker.
No party like to divide and rule as much as the Tories, they spend most of their time dividing their own support!
Having worked for him on various occasions regarding his fund raising garden parties, I echo those sentiments. He is a very honest (apart from curry) man. He worked for a long time with Ken Livingston though outwardly had to show respective party lines. They both had respect for each other as they both had very similar upbringings.
Oddly his favourite food is indeed curry, and not peas, and I have joined him and Norma for a few currys at their favourite curry house in Huntingdon.

Makes me laugh when people say Major is a decent, honest man, well cheating on your wife is definitely decent and honest. Shows how desperate Cameron is to drag him out to support him

I quite liked Major. In a time when PM's are all wannabe trendsetters, tweeters, rock musicians desperate to impress with knowsge of pop culture Major was content to be a solid man uninterested in the whizz bang of pop politics. I likes Gordon Brown for the same reason.
Oh dear. Labour learnt a lesson today. Keep Jamie Reed off air. Car crash interview with Andrew Neill on the Daily Politics Show. Why do no mark politicians think they can take on Neill. Absolute mincemeat and has put the Labour argument back a notch.

I take a slightly different view on this one. I refuse to characterise those that have affairs as lacking in decency. The problem I have is when politicians create an entire narrative around family values -- as Major did -- and then ride roughshod over them -- as Major did.
That said, I'm with [MENTION=5707]Nibble[/MENTION] in that I much prefer those that are not so obsessed with their image and style over substance (Major, Brown, Miliband E) than those that are (Blair, Cameron, Miliband D)

Sorry to disappoint the Tories but it really does look like Ed is going to be the next Prime Minister. http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/generalelection/will-ed-become-pm/

ICM, TNS, Populus, Opinium, Survation, and Ipsos-MORI all have UKIP with increased shares. The others have no change.
He's just been matched at 1.5 on the machine.
