Iain Dale is a desperate man. Now that Boris has set the precedent of sacking Police Officer for Party Political motives, possibly to bring in some Robocop from the USA if he gets his way, Iain is looking for a riposte, but not finding one . He suggests that the possibility of Cameron sacking Commissioner Ashton or Commissioner Hoon or whoever in 2010 - when by the way he isn't going to get the chance...
Iain Dale reports that the ‘Department of the Nations’ to replace the three SoS positions was indeed planned but could not happen because such a move requires legislation . If correct this is the second time a Labour proposal has been prevented late on because of ignorance of the legislative framework of government.
I’m not exactly voluble or voluminous in my praise of Labour MPs. So it’s only fair that I pay tribute to this thoroughly admirable post from Tom Harris. Inevitably, this man of great good sense has just been removed from the Government. Hat-tip: Iain Dale
Hat tip to Iain Dale . You can find them here , and I will admit that it made slightly uncomfortable reading. I like to think I am a good blogger, well I try to be anyway. But I am human and occasionally I do find I idolize it, use it to make cheap points in a political argument, and I am esp guilty of Commandment No 10. Lord forgive me!
Iain Dale reports that the reason Gordon Brown didn't merge the Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland jobs was because he would need to legislate to do so. A similar problem befell Tony Blair when he tried to abolish the Welsh post some years ago. Only after the Wales Office was placed into what was then the new Department for Constitutional Affairs did No 10 discover numerous statutory references to...
Saturday Night Live satire on the VP debate is a bit close for comfort. The version Iain Dale posted from YouTube has been taken down. No reason to allow it to be posted there when the code to embad the original is freely available. LoL site feed
Quentin Davies has been given a job at the Ministry of Defence. Iain Dale quips: "...a man less likely to make it as a minister I have yet to meet. I do not envy John Hutton's task in embedding him into a Ministerial team. But it should be entertaining for the rest of us. Would that be because he's a Tory?
Iain Dale has an article from Dennis Sewell on his blog claiming that it is all Bill Clinton's fault, and if you subscribe to the view that all the problems we face are all the fault of the US and their problems, then yes, Iain Dale may be correct. However, if, like the Tory Party, you want to blame Gordon Brown and Labour for the problems we face, then Iain Dale's argument somewhat collapses. Perhaps...
It was reported last night on several blogs including Iain Dale here, and Conservative Home here, that CCHQ has foiled an attempt by Channel 4 to infiltrate a Conservative fundraising organisation. It is alleged that a production assistant for the Dispatches programme called Jenny Williams attempted to join, and made a donation to the party, but that Conservative officials became aware that something...
I shall expand this post tomorrow (especially the moment when Mad Nad met your humble Devil), but it is good to see that one of the organisers thought that it was a worthwhile event . The most entertaining event of the day was "Freedom and the Internet" with Iain Dale , Guido Fawkes , Dizzy Thinks , Devil's Kitchen and Nadine Dorries , Tory MP for Mid Bedfordshire. It wasn't the day's best attended...
I was a bit disappointed that they edited out a minor spat between myself and Caroline, who said that Dan Hannan should be thrown out of the Conservative Party for opposing party policy (on EU Membership). Iain Dale I always suspicious of people who start calling for people to be thrown out of the club for Thought Crimes. Dan Hannan is faily out of step over his Libertarian stance in 'The Plan' and...
I'm trying to think of the last time anyone had lower expectations of a politician. And failing. Iain Dale, for instance, "expected Sarah Palin's candidacy to self-combust last night"; and since it didn't, he rather generously gives her the win. I admit that, a few weeks ago, I was worried by Palin. I thought she would mobilise the Republican base; she might be an attractive figure for independent...
It won’t be Lord Mandy of Hartlepool, as he famously said, “Is it that far North?”, and asked for “guacamole”, in a chippy when it was actually mushy peas. Iain Dale keeps you up to date here. What will Mandy resign for next'?? (James Landale is now reporting that Ed Miliband, another posh plonker - [...]
