At New Year many of us reflect upon the year that's passed and the one to come. Looking back on 2009 I would describe it as a year of missed opportunities coming at the end of a decade of disappointment. I describe it as a decade of disappointment because the Labour government chose not to solve some long standing problems when it had record receipts in the Treasury. It could have solved the pension problems for emergency services. It could have funded the building of tidal ponds in the Severn, generating electricity without damaging the estuary's unique environment instead of building a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point. It could have electrified the railway lines to London from the South West. It could have further increased the grants to support insulation of our homes, preventing hundreds of older people dying unnecessarily each winter - instead it spent the money fighting an illegal war in Iraq.
