Shuggie: A'hm riled by these bloggers. Those SNP and right wing scunners. Of course, there aren't any Labour ones. None that aren't employed by the party anyway! Dougie: Ah ken whit ye mean, likes.

This picture reveals a bizarre event that is rocking the science world – the real-life rolling stones. Amid the eerie silence and the intense 50C heat of California's Death Valley roaming rocks appear to patrol the desert. The rocks, some as heavy as 250lbs, move unaided in bizarre straight line patterns across the ultra-flat surface of the valley. Scientists believe the pebbly phenomenon is...

"Bullets? We Won't Need ANY Bullets!" The penpushers and REMF's at the MOD have trousered an astonishing £300 MILLION in bonuses whilst the squaddies and other service personnel have been being blown to pieces in Afghanistan, where Doctor John Reid sent them ( at Bliar's behest) without any equipment (because of McCavity's cuts) because they would not have to even fire a rifle. Even...

Frank Field tables early day motion signed by 22 demanding debate on conflict This may not get anywhere, but it's being pushed by Frank Field, who has the ability to make things happen in the House of Commons, and so it would be unwise to ignore it: Labour MPs are pushing for a vote on the Afghan war. MPs have discussed the conflict on plenty of occasions but, according to Field, the debates have...

Even today we still do not possess anything like a clear picture of how far this penetration stretched. The lure of Moscow is recent. It remains quite staggering how many aspirant Labour politicians were either members of the communist party or, like the Justice Secretary Jack Straw, influenced by the CP at a time when it was controlled by Moscow. The former defence secretary John Reid, for

I attended a remembrance ceremony and church service today. The minister read out the names of some of the fallen from past wars, and the five killed in one abhorrent incident last week. Add to that list the two who died over the weekend, the heroic S/Sgt Olaf Schmidt and those others who have fallen over past weeks and it is a sombre time for reflection and remembrance. Rest in Peace. I found myself...

Today being Remembrance Sunday and the sad news that we have suffered the 200th casualty since operations started in 2001 with the fall of the Taliban. Although British casualties were light up until 2006 when the then Defence Secretary John Reid announced a significant troop deployment to Helmand Province, they have accelerated since and will [...]

The fall of the Berlin Wall, on November 9, 1989, was one of history’s truly epochal moments. During what became a revolutionary wave sweeping across the former Eastern Bloc countries, the announcement by the then-East German Government that its citizens could visit West Germany set in train a series of events that led, ultimately, to the demise of the Soviet Union itself.

(This is my latest entry for Patti Abbott's Forgotten Books Project.) Reboots can be a tricky thing. When you get it right (Batman Begins, Casino Royale, Star Trek), it’s fantastic. When you get it wrong (Terminator 3; Terminator: Salvation, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull [not a true reboot but it keeps with my thesis]), it’s horrible. Thus, when I learned that Dynamite...

Lord Ashdown has been touring the studios today talking a lot of common sense and laying our failures and deaths in Afghanistan squarely on the shoulders of Brown and his mess of a Cabinet. It is now quite clear that there is no real plan for the war in Afghanistan. The idiotic statement made by NoLab stalwart John Reid is now etched in history when he was of the opinion 'that we could be in and out...

My review of last month’s Radius concert at the Purcell Room has just been accepted for publication in Musical Opinion. It won’t be out until the January issue, but I wanted to pick up some overspill here. Firstly, John Reid’s playing of Berg’s opus 1 Piano Sonata was stunning. I ran out of space in my [...]

Alan Johnson admitted while, making his first major speech on immigration, at the Royal Society of Arts, to having done too little to tackle Britain’s immigration crisis and criticised some of his predecessors for having ignored the problem. T hat will be uncomfortable for former Labour Home Secretaries. His comment “ The legacy problems of unreturned foreign national prisoners and asylum-seekers...
