ri t comes to something
when the up-market press loses confidence in the Government: even the Financial Times expects Labour to win the general election later this year.
In a light-hearted quiz FT readers were asked to look to the future and guess how long Neil Kinnock's doorstep speech will last when he enters No 10 Downing Street — options ranged from 17 minutes to five hours, 32 minutes.
Poor John Major will apparently be relegated to Shadow Transport Secretary — the FT asked "Has he promised to get Britain moving again by: a) 2001 b) 2031 c) 'As soon as is realistically practical under the evolving circumstances.'" The quiz appeared in a column called Hawks & Handsaws — no relation.
