All change

So, it's been established beyond doubt that the Nu Tories are a bunch of spin obssessed, vacuous sinecure grabbers who associate with immoral bipedal weasels (1) to make it look like there's more purpose to their activities than creating new opportunities for their private sector mates to 'contract' vital social services, and demolish worker's rights and inconvenient social institutions like the BBC and NHS; meanwhile Labour ditched an ineffective old duffer and elevated their smartest and most consistently ferocious performer to where he'll be most effective (2).

Good week, really.
