That is the kindest way to put it. Spite, viciousness, self regard, aiming for a cheap headline, incompetence, and the disadvantages of lack of awareness of others is probably more accurate. France and Germany will take the economic prizes, the positions and powers that mean so much more within the European Union, and for the status of London as a world financial centre. In return for placing a New...
Do you believe in "signs" ... Imagine being a Tory Councillor and the local PPC, when you walk into your dining room to find out that your darling, sweet, gorgeous 2 years old had gotten hold of your "lucky" Conservative rosette (the one you worse winning each of the last 5 local elections) and had coloured it in using a felt-tip pen. Then imagine - as you react calmly and lovingly...
By Alex Smith / @alexsmith1982 Sir Jeremy Beecham announced yesterday that he will not be seeking re-election as Leader of the Labour Group of the Local Government Association, or as Vice Chairman of the Association, at its annual meeting next July. He will also stand down as a member of Labour’s ruling National Executive Committee. Sir Jeremy, who turned 65 on 17th November, has been a Newcastle...
Guido Fawkes' latest "Guy News" segment starring Tory Bear and Emily no mates can be found here . It gives Labour's latest party political broadcast (the against the odds video ) a thorough going over and is well worth a watch. Still there is one innacuracy they don't seem to have picked up on. It comes about 40 seconds into the video when the slightly creepy sounding voiceover man says the...
THE LABOUR Party has said more than 80,000 jobs can be created in the energy sector if the Government moves quickly to alternative forms of energy and adopts a more ambitious approach to insulation.
In the space of a few minutes in Brussels , Cathy Ashton found herself catapulted into the international limelight as one of the world's most powerful women. It is a quite spectacular rise by any standards. Thirteen months ago she was a junior member of the British cabinet, the leader of the House of Lords, pushing through government bills. Last night she was commissioned to represent the foreign...
One of the things we have learnt about the modern Labour party is that they hate history. Probably because history usually proves them wrong. They certainly have no respect for it as yesterday’s party political broadcast demonstrated. It is full of hilarious inaccuracies such as mixing up Labour heroes Ernest Bevin and [...]
News is emerging from Brussels that the second class foreign minister and Labour lackey Baroness Ashton is to feature on the second class Eurostamp. The Red Rag has obtained an exclusive draft of the new design. This will no doubt boost the extraordinary arrogance of the woman who has already declared 'She is the best person for the post" this despite her entire career being based on Labour Party...
J.K. Rowling is using her massive influence in England's political sphere! The Harry Potter scribe has become the face of Labour's "working class heroes" in a new campaign to win back voters. Rowling's rise to fame from nothing demonstrates true “Brit grit” as she “opened rejection letters from her bedsit in Edinburgh with the [...]
Summing up Labour in a single phrase. "The state would be the ultimate authority in allocating resources to the population" - this is a direct quote from my opposite number David Pedrick Friend in todays local paper. He claims this is what his Labour Party stands for. It says in elegant simplicity what Labour represent, the view that 'the population' are to be the passive recipients of resources...
Tory fisking of Labour’s latest party political broadcast has reached new heights (or depths) with a video from the libertarian triumvirate of Guido, Tory Bear and [swoon] Emily Nomates: Rather than engaging in a tedious fiskback(?) – e.g. the fascism clip mentioned above was from the Battle of Cable Street where Moseley’s fascists fought with, erm, [...]
On 29 September 2009, Gordon Brown told the Labour Party Conference: (my emphasis) And let me say what was once an aspiration – 0.7% of national income spent on international development aid, has become with Labour a promise, and will in future become a law. We will pass legislation that the British government is obliged to [...]
For those who follow Northern Ireland politics, there is one thing which happens from time-to-time, when the Democratic Unionist Party runs a candidate in a seat which is held by the Ulster Unionist Party (or which has recently been held by the UUP), and the unionist vote splits, leading to a nationalist, from the Social Democratic & Labour Party or Sinn Fein, either winning or coming close to...
I'm sure you've read about some Orpington councillor's " racist rant ". Well, the blog Left Foot Forward has what Labour's candidate for Streatham , Chuka Umunna said : The language used by Cllr Hobbins – shortlisted by David Cameron to run London – is offensive in the extreme and shows his party has not come to terms with modern Britain. We are told the Tory Taliban surge in...
The police have announced major traffic changes for the vicinity of the National Arena for Sunday's public session of the Jamaica Labour Party's annual conference.
