Our beloved MPs had fled, having just started their 75-day summer recess. Yep. Whilst our bills soar, they soar off to cushy holidays abroad, sure a few are patting the plebs on the head and showing solidarity with the workers by holidaying here in Blighty and coming across as patronising cunts to boot. Whilst we scrimp and save they raid our pockets for cash. When you are wondering of how to feed...

Win or lose in Glasgow, Mr Brown will remain Prime Minister and Alex Salmond will retain the initiative in Scottish politics. But what is being called Warwick 2, after the original deal with the unions there in 2004, will have a crucial bearing on Labour's future. This is less about immediate policies than what is said at the next election and, even more crucially, afterwards, especially if Labour...

Is it coincidence that no sooner does the House of Commons rise for a three month holiday than holidaymakers swimming off the southern French coast start complaining about an invasion of jellyfish. Now we all know where the politicians go during their magnificent tax-payer funded vacation....

it seems that getting the Labour Party to write a letter on your behalf about David Davis' by-election stunt, as Mr Salter and Ms Dodds have just done, has rather backfired . They really should have written their own letter, especially as neither has websites that function or any e-interactivity at all. The Reading East MP has an e-newsletter which I have seen and it is pretty good too - why can't...

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.
