It's all been a misunderstanding, dears

 Blair backs down over regulatory reform bill

Jim Murphy, the cabinet office minister, said the government would back down from the highly contentious plans to cut the bureaucracy burden on business and amend the proposed law, which has been dubbed a shortcut to dictatorship. Mr Murphy told the Financial Times that the bill, which as currently framed would allow virtually any law to be introduced, amended or axed without full parliamentary scrutiny, will be amended. He said he would amend the legislative and regulatory reform bill “so that it can no longer be misconstrued as an attempt by government to take a wider constitutional power”. (my emphasis)

Call me cynical, but this is going to be like the proverbial game of Find The Lady. Watch very closely and don’t look away even for a second. It should be noted that during the Report Stage of the Bill, not one opposition amendment was accepted. At this stage any amendment, however slight, can be painted as a concession.

Good advice, I would have thought, about pretty well everything this shower of shits does.
