"Things can only get worse"

Depressed Labour activists are rumoured to have changed the words of Labour's adopted election anthem in 1997, substituting 'get worse' for 'get better'. The recent loss of the Glasgow by election to the SNP could of course be written off as a one off by election spectacular -except that it is not a one off.

Dunfermline to the Liberal Democrats, Crewe to the Conservatives and Glasgow to the SNP.
