I am pleased to see that the BBC has caught up with the rest of us in speculating whether the One Wales Agreement will survive the Labour leadership contest due to the three candidates' reluctance to commit to a referendum. Both Carwyn Jones and Edwina Hart seem convinced that we cannot proceed without full consultation within the Wales Labour Party, whilst Huw Lewis wants to defeat the Tories first....

Last night the two Labour Party wards (or branches) North & South Forest Gate took part in a little bit of an experiment. We merged both ward meetings and had as the guest speaker our Labour Mayor for Newham, Sir Robin Wales. Also we asked Party members to invite friends and neighbours (non Party members) to attend the meeting and listen to the Mayor and take part in the Q&A. It was all a little...

When it comes to the environment; there is only one party you can trust and that is the Liberal Democrats. The Labour Party have failed to deliver on renewable energy, and the Tories pretend to be green but when it comes to supporting sustainable energy they will always turn the other way, and this week proved [...]

I've noted previously that there's a danger that people over-react to statements made by Labour's leadership hopefuls. We all need to remember that they are appealing to a particular audience for a particular purpose. Today's little storm over whether Carwyn Jones is in order to 'consult' the Labour Party over the timing of any referendum is a case in point. The commitment to holding a referendum on...

Tony Blair was no enthusiast for Proportional Representation. He gave it to new bodies to indicate that he didn't think they mattered. But his introduction of the party list system for Strasbourg, while certainly having that motivation, also had another. The old European Parliamentary Labour Party had been a rich seam of dissent over many long years. Almost all of it was duly purged. To that end, the...

"The truth is that yellow streak Gordon Brown is now governing Britain purely for partisan or even personal advantage rather than in the national interest...." I have no pity for this self deluded bully boy. I feel sorry for us who have to recover from 13 years of the meddling and betrayal and failed social , economic and European policies. Yellow streak Brown is gutless, when things go wrong...

A walk through the main shopping street in what used to be Peckham. The Third World has come to London and who can blame them when our liberal elite make it so easy for them. If I lived in Somalia or Pakistan, I'd be underneath the first lorry coming this way too! The name Peckham is derived from the Anglo Saxon for"village amongst the hills.' To preserve some greenery Peckham Rye was bought...
