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 [...]

Apologies for the title, but really, seriously, what is it we have now? The Liberal Democrats offered Proportional Representation. They slumped in the election losing seats, and retained their position as the third party in UK politics. The Labour Party offered a referendum on Alternative Vote PR. They lost 91 seats. The Conservatives said no [...]

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 [...]

Britain is broken, but it can be fixed. Society began to decline when the state managed to convince the people that the state could solve their problems by intervention into their lives. Today, we’re told what to do by a Government which doesn’t know what to do with itself. A cabal of social workers and [...]

So, the first debate is over, and as widely predicted, Clegg won the air war convincingly, proving that a well thought-out campaign message means nothing as long as you’re not the leader of the Conservative or Labour parties. In my eyes, Cameron lost out by not being as aggressive as I would have liked; he [...]

After the hilarious and damning Channel 4 Dispatches programme this evening, three MPs – Geoff Hoon, Patricia Hewitt and Stephen Byers – have all been suspended from the Labour Party. More interesting than that is the decision not to suspend Margaret Moran. What on Earth could create the difference between La Moran, a clear Brownite, [...]

Dear former comrade Field, I read with some disbelief, shock, ennui and anger reports of comments that you made that it would not make you physically sick to encounter David Cameron, and that you would not consider setting fire to yourself if he ever phoned you. Imagine my deep visceral reaction, accompanied by gagging and [...]

Many British citizens who pay their taxes will wonder, if Unite can afford to make a political donation to the Labour Party of £11m, why the Labour Government should pay £4.4m to Unite.

Gordon Brown says the British Airways strike being proposed by Unite is coming ‘at the wrong time’. Wrong time how, exactly? Wrong for all the Easter holidaymakers desperate to briefly escape the UK for a week, or wrong for all those people who are now considering whether their holiday plans are being ruined by the [...]
