Is Hazel nuts ?

Wills, Soton, UK

Wich Hazel has always missed the point, a bit like the rest of the labour party really.

It's too late you silly woman, good bye you are the weakest link.

D Case, Newquay,

The labour party isn't dead as yet, it can reverse the downfall in one easy way, give us the referendum that it promised us, in fact one on whether we should stay in the corrupt democratically deficient eu would do even more good for their standings. This of course will mean that Brown has to go, because he will have to admit to the UK that he lied about the Lisbon treaty being nothing like the constitution. The question is, are the labour party really honest enough to do the obvious, and dump him out of number 10, let's face it as Prime minister he has been awful, and as Chancellor we are now seeing his mistakes come home to roost.

Barry Davies, Stafford, Staffs

No chance we have had a enough of Labour and Brown the clown. No more to be said on the matter.

Geoffrey Fish, Pontefract, Yorkshire

Labour has won three elections not by delivering, but because the Tories have been so woeful. Labour has destroyed the middle class whilst encouraging scroungers. The chancellors have used spin and indirect taxation to increase the burden on the middle classes.

Hamad Lone, London, England

new labour have destroyed the fabric of the uk and made lying an integral part of politics. it's not their lies that offend me it's the expression in their faces.

i voted labour and am ashamed. i now live in europe and can only envisage coming back once order is restored across the camps that have been pillaged by the new labour hoards.

shame on you, labour.

tom - an expat in europe, europe,

what I find interesting about this statement is that a cabinet minister is prepared to admit a) that the middle class vote is important and b) that the labour party has lost it. However, before they can start to get it back they have to acknowledge what caused them to lose it. Personally I think that they are not ready to do that yet. Perhaps after 3 lost elections they might get there?

alastair harris, DERBY,

I WILL NEVER VOTE LABOUR - the damage is done and will never be repaired.

VJay, LONDON,

Labour should ask themselves why 250000 Brits emigrate every year.

A quick look at London will tell you - when I visit it is no longer a country I recognise.

ben foster, penley,

Pack your bags Blears!

Simon, Nottingham, England

Oh my word, Labour have suddenly realised they've made a terrible mistake.

All this time you've been ripping off your voters of their hard earned cash and pouring billions into the pockets of idle layabouts, spongers and ministers and anyone else with a begging bowl but give nothing back to hard working families and businesses.

I do so hope Labour ministers read this column and the many others that are sending this loud and clear message to labour..

Take pride in the fact that you have broken this country, it's so called middle classes (Read hardworking voters) have had enough of you.

Too late. You're out. Your spin on the doorstep will only serve to reinforce the voters loathing of this government.

I wouldn't waste your money on any campaign, you'll need it when you lose the next election. I can't wait to see the results of local elections in May!

Shelly, Durham, County Durham

You can win over this middle class voter by highlighting things like managing the economy competently, rewarding hard work rather than punishing it, bolstering the union of the UK, respect for civil rights, freedom from government interference and observation, lower taxes, a significantly more efficient and smaller public sector and massive overhaul of the benefits system so that it forces people back to work rather than rewarding them for sloth, idleness and ignorance.

Strangely though, I think that after eleven years in power this is all slightly beyond the capability of the 'Labour' party.

Mark, Edinburgh, UK

This says it all, "the party of the affluent as well as the poorest families". Yup, rip off the affluent and shaft the poor old pensioner. What a great party NU are.

As Edward of London says, to late Hazel, the train has already crashed.

John, Fareham,

Sorry, we don't fall for all that waffle nowadays. You've ruined the country and you're out at the next elections.

Mike Jones, Farnborough, Hampshire

We do not want even more spin. Keep your promise, Ms Blears - give us the referendum on the European Union. I voted Labour last time but will not vote Labour in this highly marginal Bolton West constituency unless we have the promised referendum.

George, Bolton, England

Too late Hazel, the train has already crashed.

Edward, London,

Please do not forget to mention the immigration crisis.
You will soon be swamped with 'refugees' from Africa, Middle East, eastern Europe as well as other countries. UK citizens are leaving at +- 500 / week to seek refuge elsewhere.

Graham Richards, Brisbane, Australia

The heretic Hutton shall surely be burned at the stake of New Labour. Ms. Blears must be careful not to get too close to the fire!
