The final point is about the politics of aspiration. New Labour is today the party of aspiration, for middle-class and poorer families; for all. Every time we have ceded that ground in politics, we have lost. Every time we have occupied it, we've won.

"Balls to aspiration?" "Tosser's image?" Would you re-cast that in English for your friends across the pond?

OK Mack
First it is a Tosser's MIRAGE not image. :-)
A tosser - jerk (polite-ish), wanker (rude), μάλακας (Greek).

Well, gosh, I'm sure that it in Wodehouse somewhere! :) Cheers!
