By Wes Streeting / @wesstreeting In the words of Stonewall chief Ben Summerskill, something "historic" happened this week: David Cameron apologised for the piece of Tory hate legislation well known to the LGBT community as 'Section 28'. Reactions to the Conservative leader's apology have been mixed; some see it as...

Unless there is the political comeback to end them all, Labour is heading out of office and David Cameron's Conservatives in. Previous political seismic shifts have been preceded by the opposition coming up with a clear ideology.

Tony Blair did not only mislead us about Saddam Hussein's weaponry. He was equally wrong about Gordon Brown's. Remember the Great Clunking Fist? At Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, David Cameron behaved like an old-fashioned schoolmaster dealing with a slow and sullen pupil. "Brown, how many times do I have to tell you..." These days, the Tories' main worry about PMQs is that Mr...

The Telegraph expenses machine grinds relentlessly onward. It is taking me some time to overcome my distress at the news that Jeffrey Donaldson MP is having to repay £555 which he claimed for hotel pay-for-view films . Will he let us know the titles of these films? As taxpayers I think we are entitled to know, given that we have loaned him 555 quid for months. Dear little Georgie Osbourne, all...

If Labour hadn’t been elected in 1997, we’d have much better railways. The Tory plan for privatisation was to issue franchises and, later, introduce competition on the long-distance routers from what were called “open access” operators. But the Labour government hated the idea of competition because it meant reducing the amount the Treasury could demand in [...]

Do you ever wish you had been the leader of the Conservative party? Would you have been good at it? Katherine Hitchcock, Shaftesbury, DORSET If you are a tennis player, you want to win Wimbledon. So, of course, when I was active in politics I occasionally thought I'd like to get right to the top but I don't think, to be realistic, that the modern Conservative Party would ever have chosen me as leader....

by Jimmy Lee Shreeve I’m as mad as Richard Dawkins after having had a visitation from God. Why? Because the main candidates in the Norwich North by-election , to be held on July 23rd, are so boring. The Tory candidate, 27-year-old Chloe Smith , for example, looks set to pull a victory, and achieve her long-held ambition of nabbing a seat in the Commons. But come on Norwich North citizens –...

The party's post-credit crunch stance on social justice and poverty will define its future for generations to come We are all assuming there will be the mother of all battles for Labour's future after the expected election defeat. But few had thought hostilities would break out now, with an election less than a year away. Yet that is exactly what is happening. Ministers have clearly decided that Brown...

Imagine the scenario: after a summer of further calamity Brown finally folds, leaving a lord to restore Labour fortunes In retrospect, all the signs were there. But six months ago, back in July 2009, no one actually guessed that Peter Mandelson was about to become Labour's seventh prime minister. The suggestion had been doing the rounds at Westminster, of course, as one of those frivolous "what...

Political assassination is always an interesting thing to watch. I remembered seeing it happen to Thatcher and its effects made long lasting and deep, near fatal wounds on the conservative party. They never recovered even after Major won a general election after Thatcher's departure and it is only now, 18 years after her departure that they are beginning to look like a united party again.
