I think that David Cameron's assessment of the Labour government was spot on. They are certainly the 'living dead' .
They were handed the embarrassment of a crushing defeat in the local elections but this isn't the real problem.
The labour government has stagnated because of Tony Blair. He has tried to cling to power to build a 'legacy'.
The truth of that matter is that by refusing to name a date and let Gordon Brown mount his leadership challenge for months he has ruined his legacy.
We have had ten years of Mr Blair and foreign policy and top-up fees aside he has done his utmost to clean the mess that the Conservatives left the country in.
But his time was up a while ago and this fiasco will certainly affect the way that he is viewed in the history books.
Personally, I feel sorry for Gordon Brown.
He won't be in charge for very long.
