<p>New Labour still think they can win the next election. It was their conference this week. I can barely watch them any more, my blood boils within a minute. I have to turn the TV off.</p>
<p>Watching the usual suspects trying to spin their way out of the latest screw-up brought this song to mind.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s by Tracy Chapman and from one of my all time favourite albums. My best memory of TC was her playing the Nelson Mandela gig at the old Wembley in the late 80&#8242;s. She stole the show with a brilliant set.<br />
