What on earth were Tory press officers thinking when they put Charles Tannock MEP up against Stephen Fry on Channel 4 News? “It’s very clear that the modern Conservative Party is fully committed to equal opportunities, to tolerance, to anti-discrimination measures.” So far, so party line. But talking of his time as a local councillor for a [...]

Yesterday the Obama moment of Welsh Labour’s i nternet project Aneurin Glyndwr , scooped this story about Tory MEP Charles Tannock and his proposals to charge people £10 to visit their GP. In fairness they were only about 9 days behind me and the rest of the blogsphere . A daily must read Peter? Hardly. Almost makes you feel sorry for the Paul Flynn's and David Taylor's of this word that...

Another day and another mess for the Tories on the NHS. Charles Tannock, a Tory MEP and a senior spokesperson for the party in Europe has suggested the idea of charging everyone £10 to visit their GP. I am not actually against his proposal for charging for non attendance to appointments (unless there is a valid reason) but the idea of charging for the right to see a GP is, in my mind ridiculous....

It was a fairly good night for the Conservatives in London - three of London’s eight MEPs were returned as Conservatives. Congratulations to Charles Tannock, Syed Kamall and Marina Yannakoudakis on their elections. It’s also pleasing that the BNP did not win a seat here. Though disturbing that they managed to take two seats in the north. [...]

10.55 PM - It appears Labour have lost a seat in Yorkshire & Humberside, with UKIP 2nd overall. Worst of all it appears the BNP's Andrew Brons, formerly of the NF and the National Socialist Movement, will be duking it out for the last vacancy in Yorkshire with the second UKIP candidate. We shall see. Also, why the hell didn't Labour have Richard Corbett at the top of the list, instead of the useless...
