The problem whe n you become a poster girl for a political party is realising that instead of being a random groupie on twitter, when you get the endorsement of party elders, party slaves and party cheerleaders, when you are photographed with the PM, you deserve a little more scrutiny. LabourList proudly state young Ellie Gellard is their most influential communicator online. It takes a pretty sick...
Attended the East of England Labour Party Regional Conference in Stevenage this weekend. The good news for me was that I have another year on the Regional Board. I spoke at an anti-fox hunting fringe with Dan Norris MP, Minister for Rural Affairs. The main speaker at the conference dinner was Ray Collins, General Secretary [...]
When celebrities and signs are juxtaposed in the same photo, the results can be amusing or ironic (or amusingly ironic, or even ironically amusing) as this picture gallery from Telegraph.co.uk shows. Here, Labour's hard man John Prescott makes a point...
So there's been plenty of coverage of Labour's latest Party Political Broadcast, which was the misbegotten child of a grass-roots campaign among Labour activists. On Twitter it was pushed by the eager, if misguided, Ellie Gellard and many others, and was supported by Eddie Izzard and John Prescott . I'll leave the factual inaccuracies of the broadcast - of which there are many - to o thers with a...
The Labour blogosphere campaigned to make an internal party YouTube hit “Against All Odds” their Party Political Broadcast. With a little bit of help from Bad Al Cambell, John Prescott and Twitter Czar Kerry McCarthy it was used as a cheap and cheerful official broadcast last night. Congratulations to Ellie Gellard, the teenage tornado of [...]
Dave Hill writes on ‘weapon dogs’ in CiF, and specifically on Kit Malthouse’s stupid statement : Last week Malthouse hosted a summit with members of the Met's status dogs unit and the RSPCA. All agreed on a need for further action, but none have publicly endorsed Malthouse's call for a policy of managed extinction similar to that in Ontario. Why not ? Because it won’t resolve...
I know I cannot be a revolutionary because I am perfectly capable of liking those I disagree with and disliking those I agree with. The basis of such likes is not to do with opinion, it is with the way opinion is delivered. It is to do with intangibles. It is not to do with wanting them as friends or desiring to spend time with them, particularly not on any desert island with only one of them for company,...
It’s sure proof of the depths to which our elected representatives have fallen that I’ve just been sent a stocking-filler book entitled “Cr*p MPs – The 40 Worst Members of Parliament in History”. So, in the view of HarperCollins, Britain’s MPs have now joined Scrooge, the Grinch, and Captain Hook in the pantheon of pantomime villains. The Ladybird-style book’s...

By Kerry McCarthy MP / @KerryMP As you’ll no doubt already be aware tomorrow evening the Labour Party will be airing a new version of this video as its Party Political Broadcast following the Queen’s Speech. The PPB takes many of the elements of the video, first shown at Labour Party Conference this year, and places the measures being announced in the Queen’s Speech in the context...
When I was young and on a visit to the US, I was taken to a rodeo. I watched the cowboys mount angry bulls which were then released together into the arena. A violent dance then began with the bull trying to buck the cowboy from his back and the cowboy holding on for dear life or at least for dear prize money or bravado. If the bull was successful and the cowboy came crashing to the ground, the bull...
