It was weird. I don't think it was the fact that Brown alone was leaving, but his speech sort of felt like a final epitaph to the New Labour project as a whole - especially as it came soon after watching Mandelson and Campbell walking away down the road. For better or worse it did feel very much like the end of something pretty major.

Noone knows yet but it's predicted to be atleast three or four years. Personally I think it'll collapse before then and we'll have another election in a year or two, and then who knows? To be honest, my views on the whole thing are flip flopping all over the place - apart from the utter revulsion I felt watching Cameron enter No 10. That hasn't altered a bit.
