It makes an amusing read, though one wonders how much it is exaggerated. Though it seems to be more about Winter trying to settle old scores with the Labour Party than anything else.I see the book is due out in April (presumably so as to make an impact before the Election). As I've posted before, I wonder if Winter will have much to say about the stadium and Rovers? Not that the Mail will be interested in that bit.

You must see life as if lit by a strobe light. As for Balls, he wears contact lenses and it was 11pm, retard.
You utterly reprehensible idiot. 10 polls last week.Labour ahead in 7. Tied in 2. Tories ahead by 1% in one. Not a bleat from you. One poll showing the Tories in front by a bit and you're back again. Why Mick? Why do you do this? What on earth do you get out of this?
Some interesting thoughts on the GE here. Although it isn't unusual for pundits to forecast a Hung Parliament this time around, their prediction on the largest single party is interesting. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-31066643Given the likely membership of the Commons though, I doubt a minority Tory government would last a year. If they could square off the SNP then a minority Labour one might go on for a while though.
TRBMiliband's position on the referendum is one of principle. HE doesn't believe we should even consider leaving the EU. Therefore it would be political opportunism to offer a referendum. We castigate our politicians for being rootless chancers who believe in nothing but gaining power. Here's a counter example. It would have been electorally beneficial for Milband to offer a referendum. But he genuinely believes that the consequence would be seriously detrimental for the UK economy. If he'd said in, say 2013 or 2012 that the next Lab Govt would offer a referendum in, say 2017, that would have guaranteed that a referendum would take place (because the Tories were already offering one). So that would have GUARANTEED that we had 4-5 years of uncertainty, during which time companies would have not known whether setting up/investing in this country would turn out to be a decision that ended up with them not being on the EU inside. The referendum decision has certainly hurt Miliband and Labour. But sometimes you take a hit if something not important is at stake.
