Polly Tonybee Wants Gordon Brown To Be As Consistent As She Is
POLLY Toynbee is a Guardian columnist and president of the Social Policy Association. She is a solid and clear voice, an opinion former:
“A cabinet of minnows and spineless backbenchers include many - perhaps most - who want Brown gone, but lack the nerve to act. They wait for someone else, for Brown to walk away or for a proverbial bus to save them from the task” – Polly Tonybee, Sep 6, 2008
Not to be confused with this Polly Tonybee:
“…as they stepped into No 10 yesterday, here was as decent and clever a team of ministers as ever graced the cabinet table. Two Milibands, Ed Balls, Jackie Smith, Harriet Harman, Alan Johnson, Douglas Alexander, Peter Hain and Hilary Benn - with the likes of John Denham and Yvette Cooper in attendance - present a good front. It’s certainly the most genuinely united government in living memory” – Polly Tonybee, June 29 2007
Consistency is what we’re after…

Definitely Polly, perhaps a Norwegian Blue?

Polly’s an idiot. Her Dad was even worse. If anyone didn’t deserve hereditary privilege it’s her…
And I’ve always thought if she put her money where her Guardian column is she’d go get a job in a factory and let a working-class hack take her place…
