"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.

WHO RUNS UK? PM weak, shrill, despised by his MPs who are bullied by loons and Mail or pre-extinction LIB-DEMS? Neither-lobbyists run UK.

Welcoming the news today that workers at General Motor's Ellesmere Port plant have accepted the deal that will bring the new Astra to the plant, Unite the union general secretary Len McCluskey, said: "This is extremely good news for Ellesmere Port. The company has made an offer to the workforce, which our members have accepted.
"From a position of uncertainty earlier this year, there is now a potential for a future at the plant until 2020 and beyond, and with that 700 new skilled jobs at Ellesmere Port itself, and possibly hundreds more in the supply chain.
"Importantly this move will also bring component supplier plants back into the UK, a development that strengthens our manufacturing base generally.
"However, we are very aware that this offer has implications for colleagues across General Motors. We will continue now to talk about the implications as a consequence of our members' decision with our partners in Europe and the company's management."
