Nothing I say would make a difference insofar as your empty tank is concerned - frankly I am not sure all the water on Earth would be enough to fill it up

If the Tories win, should we become a left-wing think-tank so we can slag them off as well?

Or even a right-wing think-tank?

When Chorus shut down on Teesside the other week, local TV had some Tory on saying how it was all Labour's fault that they were leaving.
