The UK Labour Party faces an election meltdown like that experienced by its Australian counterpart unless it stops its "squabbles" with the unions, leader Ed Miliband has been warned.

Dave Prentis, general secretary of the public sector union Unison, said the party had to "get its act together".

Mr Miliband wants to make changes to funding, saying they will boost party membership and make it more effective.

But Mr Prentis dismissed some of his ideas as "living in cloud cuckoo land".

There was no 'meltdown' in Australia.

Hitler finds out Murdoch has betrayed him.

Silliband makes the act of speaking sound like a giraffe trying to walk across an ice rink. He slides into words - eg, he doesn't say 'This is a crucial issue,' he'll say, 'Thiiiis iiiiis a crrrrrruuucial issue'. It's exhausting listening to him.

I stopped listening to him talking through his nose a long time ago !

David Aaronovich this week called him a "political vulture" (he's obviously seen the nose) !

Good to read with have intelligent voters who base their views on a person's physical attributes.
Would it be churlish to ask them to provide evidence of their own natural beauty?

Not just based on physical attributes (although if you aspire to be a politician being able to communicate WOULD be an advantage !)

Based on being in hock to the Unions, not having a clue ... oh, and giving succour to the enemy !

PS - When did he become a "brand"?
