FT columnist says Blair "too close" to business

[Carl Remick]

Rather ironic note in today's Financial Times.  Columnist Joe Rogaly
says the Labour government is courting disaster by maintaining
excessively close ties with business.
Excerpt: "There are ... serious matters upon which the prime minister
might reflect as he returns to his desk this week. The one that holds
the greatest potential for further trouble for New Labour is the
relationship of his government with business. It is too close. The
converts from socialism are displaying a naïve faith in their fat new
friends. There have been casualties already. Unless he is careful Mr
Blair himself will eventually be hurt."
