On the other hand, you've got to admire her discipline in defending a policy she may not be very impressed by either.

Because what I was impressed by, later in the debate, was the detail Sarah Pallet was able to go into on justice issues, and housing. Both in a very short time. These are obviously policy areas she is passionate about, and knows well.

Given all the space opening up in the front bench, she's one to watch as Labour regroups post-election.

... I have to ask, does she honestly expect a standing ovation for a bunch of little bits? From a second term Labour government. After 3 years of having a clear majority to govern alone. They barely deserve a slow clap.
