December 19th, 2011 · No Comments · Campaigning, Policy, Politics, UK Labour, Uncategorized, United Kingdom

The impact of the doing is only apparent over time. I learnt as government progressed that the day-to-day news coverage mattered much less than laying down deep themes of objectives and achievement.
