SIR I admire Jenny Sampson in many ways, but how can a working class girl from a Council estate, like myself, attack the Labour party so vehemently?

I would be letting my parents and my grandparents down to even think such a thing.

Firstly, like thousands, nay millions, she thinks the Prime Minister is a liar sorry, not proven then she attacks the Chancellor for wanting African women and children to have some semblance of normality, she says, at the expense of our own children "who can barely read or write".

Whose fault's that? Not the education system. These kids get every chance to do well but don't or won't take it.

Blair said "remember us for the last nine years, not the last nine days", so I will.

Sound economy, low interest rates and the big one 2.4 million people back to work, that is a very credible achievement.

Minimum wage, tax credits to help lone parents, prolonged maternity, paternity leave, I could fill this page with their innovations. New Labour are doers, the others are talkers.
