I hadn't realised, when we were doing our own week-long Pennines trek, that Sean Pertwee must have been there as well, using the Dales landscape to reflect on why Labour were such a good bet for the next five years. We clearly weren't as far from the election as I thought.

There's nothing new under the Sun (or in it!). Waugh wasn't the first either, so you're about three stories removed! Too much holidaying?
