Tessa Jowell has written an opinion piece for the Telegraph.

"People are fed up with spin, and it's spin that makes them fed up with politicians and politics. They want honesty, integrity and passion from us. They want to feel part of something bigger. And if we don't give them that, if we don't inspire with our beliefs and values, who can blame them for thinking we are all, as my dustman would say, a bunch of knobheads?"

Hmm... Well she certainly has failed to inpsire me with her beliefs on ID cards - her main reason for having them seems to be "they were in the manifesto", which doesn't even count as a belief, does it? And if you ask questions of your MP and she fails to answer them directly, then you're not going to be inspired, or even interested, in what they do have to say.
