Re: New PM
Considering where any lack of acheivment through financial restraints were caused by Brown, how exactly is him being PM a good thing?
Sooner he gets Labour out of power the better.

I was referring to the process not the New PM. We dont have a PM at the moment which is odd. Although, Maybe Brown will change things, he has 1/2 years so he may try and do quite a bit.
I would like:More spending on a better NHS mostly. He also said he wants to have more Housing.

Re: New PM
I'd like the current spending to be done properly thank you very much, they get shed loads of money already.
Think of it like this, you have a bucket, with a large hole in it.
If you have a fast enough tap, you can keep the bucket full, but there's a load of wastage.
Repair the hole, even just making it smaller, means you need less water to keep it full, and therefore less wastage.

Luxuries such as? I haven't been on a training course in over 3 years (due to funding restrictions), haven't had a payrise in line with inflation nor do we get any other luxuries that i can think of - other than the fact we get paid every month. And even that is looking more and more like a luxury as redeployment and redundancies are the topic of staff conversations in our NHS trust.
If you specifically mean one area of staff i.e. senior management or consultants for instance, then please be clear and don't tar us all with the same brush.

Re: New PM
Did you know that during the time we had no PM today (about 20 mins-ish) the queen was running the country and if <insert mad faction here> invaded us during that 20ish mins she could have hit the big red button...
Amazing!
Off to sleep now...

I wondered why I felt so calm for 20 mins today, someone sensible and responsible with the Nation's real well being at heart was in control

Re: New PM
I would have preferred the queen to tell bliar "no matey you can't resign so you can sod off to the middle east on regular beano's (much as we all want you to) you promised to serve a full third term as prime minister when you wanted to get elected again so thats what your going to do". As for caring sharing gordon becoming pm it is a dark day for us all we the british public should decide our prime minister not a bunch of smarmy two faced gits in a backroom with a cosy little agreement amongst friends and a two fingered salute to the democracy they claim to value so highly.

Yes, but I don't recall one PM calling for a general election at the appointment of a new leader, then denying people the same when he's appointed as new leader, other than Brown.
