Rejoice, just rejoice.  As Gordon Brown made the single best speech of his life, resigning his commission, I doubt many in the country who care about these things had a dry eye.   I’m delighted to see the Labour Party in opposition, and I’m hoping that David Cameron will live up to the hopes and [...]

So here we are, in the process of creating a stable and responsible Government for the United Kingdom.  The negotiations at the Cabinet Office between William Hague, George Osborne and Oliver Letwin from the Conservatives and a much larger group from the Liberal Democrats has broken for the evening, with each side returning to their [...]

A brief insight into the thinking of Labour Party activists on their leader and our Prime Minister, Gordon Brown.  I’m compiling these from online accounts and memory, and could do with more.  Please send them to:  “ben[at]nabidana.com” or drop them in the comments below.

The BBC is reporting as a certainty that our Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, is going to ask the Queen to dissolve Parliament and call an election.  Finally. After thirteen years of decay and vandalism of our constitution and the principles of our nation, the bottler in chief, who legendarily lost close to £7bn of our [...]
