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...
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...
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.
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 [...]
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, [...]
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...
I was delighted to go to the Croydon Labour Parties Gala Dinner yesterday evening. Held at the Hilton Hotel in Croydon it was, as ever, a delightful occasion, a chance to catch up with old friends and enjoy a really good evening. Thanks to Tim Godfrey, the Labour Party organiser in the area, and everyone else [...]
Ok ok, TB promises he will change the record soon, but one final comment on that god awful PEB from the Labour Party last night (See previous postings.) Much fuss was made that they were listening to their grassroots when in reality they are broke, and rehashing stock footage and slipping the Hovis guy a twenty for the voice over was cheaper than making a whole new campaign. If Labour really cared...
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 [...]
Labour Party Political Broadcast (Deconstructed) Enjoy this Guido Fawkes / Tory Bear deconstruction and critique (ie. massive p***-take) of the ‘new’ Labour Party Political Broadcast. It’s funny.
How Gordon Brown and the Labour Party should use their last months in power TWO syndromes often beset governments whose time is almost up. One is listlessness and drift, as discipline crumbles, morale plummets and ideas dry up. Conversely, some moribund administrations embrace desperate hyperactivity to stave off their doom. Gordon Brown and his Labour government, facing probable defeat in the general...
In an attempt to gag Cambria Politico, one of the fiercest critics of the Labour Party in Wales, agents for Labour leadership contender Huw Lewis launched a barrage of intimidatory threats resulting from an article on this blog which hit their boss a little too hard for comfort.
A variety of right-wing blogs[1] link to a ' fisking' of Labour's most recent party political broadcast, in which a Liberal Democrat activist attempts to reveal that all the claims made about Labour's achievements are false. A friend who is a historian was kind enough to send me an analysis of their claims: Broadcast: "“They said that working people were not fit to govern - so we formed...
