Harry Reid, no leadership
Ruth's Report (subscribe) | yesterday | UK

Isaiah 's The World Today Just Nuts " Rolling In It " also went up yesterday. As the United States suffers their worst economic crisis in approximately 70 years, I really do expect to see some evidence of cost-cutting measures in the White House's household budget. I have... -

Lib Dems should not ditch the in/out referendum pledge
Mark Reckons (subscribe) | yesterday | Politics
Ming Campbell has indicated on The Daily Politics today that the Lib Dems may be moving away from their pledge on an in/out referendum for the EU. If this is true then I think this is a mistake. I have been a bit back and forth on the Lib Dem's approach to the Lisbon treaty. I tried to sum up my views in a blogpost early last month : I think that the EU hugely over complicates these treaties and makes... -

Tory hypocrisy on health and safety
Luke's Blog (subscribe) | yesterday | Politics
Hat-tip to John Spellar MP for spotting the case of pots and kettles in David Cameron calling for an end to the UK's "over-the-top" health and safety culture.

BNP Gibraltar
Working Class Tory (subscribe) | yesterday | Politics
Well, well. Nick Griffin shows how anti-British the BNP really are: they would give away Gibraltar. Any British nationalist ought to want to further the reputation and might of Britain, not diminish it to appease Spanish fascists, as Griffin seems to want to do. I can't really put into words my own feelings about Gibraltar, our need to keep it for eternity, and so on. Thus, you can understand how angry... -
