"Loongate" is the political equivalent of the "Ratner Moment". Gerald Ratner mocked his customers, lost his CEO job and his firm collapsed.

There are times when running against your own base makes sense. It rarely hurt Tony Blair (though it probably did hurt the Labour party) but it’s not a good idea to reinforce, even in private, the electorate’s suspicion that your party is, on the whole, populated by rum coves at best and maniacs at worst.

Press Release
Government urged not to play an apprenticeships 'numbers game'
3 April 2012
Paul Davies, Head of Policy at the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), said: “The UK has seen welcome growth and investment in apprenticeships with over 450,000 new people signed up in 2010-11, up 63.5 per cent from the previous year.
“While it is concerning that some apprenticeship providers have chosen to manipulate this situation for their own means, this must not detract from the value of apprenticeships to young people and the wider economy.
“Properly accredited and approved apprenticeships provide a high-quality alternative to traditional academic routes for our future engineers who will be at the heart of rebalancing the economy.
“We urge the Government not to play a 'numbers game' but to seek to produce the fully qualified technicians that the UK so desperately needs for the future.”
