"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.

28 March 2012
Unite today (Wednesday, 28 March) welcomed the prospect of meaningful talks through ACAS in a bid to resolve a dispute involving tanker drivers over minimum standards and growing instability in the oil industry.
Commenting Unite, assistant general secretary, Diana Holland, said: “We welcome the prospect of exploratory talks and await a formal invitation from ACAS. Unite has said all along that we want a negotiated settlement through meaningful talks. Our focus is in finding a settlement that halts the race to the bottom in an increasingly fragmented industry. The minimum standards we are seeking are no different from those covering other parts of the oil industry.
“We trust that the employers, and the supply chain, including oil majors, will engage with us and that the government will do everything in their power to help us avoid industrial action.”
