Luke4NEC

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Luke Akehurst is running for Labour’s NEC. Read more at his place.
I think he’d do a good job.
xD.

 

Charles Clarke is still wrong

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Charles Clarke has said the PM should go. Clarke has form for this (as mentioned here and here on this blog). Charles Clarke has not thought Gordon Brown should be Prime Minister for some time now. I’d say he’s had that opinion since Blair’s ministry.
Indeed, I should think there are no circumstances in which Charles [...]

 

OpenLeft: a response

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Over at the OpenLeft website, various worthies are asked the question “What is it about your political beliefs that put you on the Left rather than the Right?”. Various others have weighed in; I’d like to go through some of the comments people made and then have a go myself.

Sunder Katwala
Jon Cruddas

The UCU Norwich North poll

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Today will see the writ moved for the by-election in Norwich North where Dr Ian Gibson has resigned. In advance of the poll on 23rd July, the Universities & Colleges Union have commissioned a poll that makes interesting reading.
The headlines are, with my comments underneath:
Half of people aged 18-34 (48% of people aged 18-24 years [...]

 

What happens to Labour if the Tories back strong devolution?

Monday, June 29th, 2009

A question posed by Matt Wardman.
Here’s the data he presents, from PSR Keele, as a chart.

What this tells me is that, in terms of actually winning the election, assuming that Labour do at least moderately well in Scotland and Wales, it’s only England that matters. We need to wait to see what effects devolution has [...]

 

Labour can win a fourth term

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

‘Governing party does badly in midterm election’ is hardly a shocking story. We are familiar with the arguments about local & Euro polls being second-order elections. We know that the Guardian advocated a vote for the Lib Dems or Greens1. We know that Labour’s fratricidal tendency has come to the fore.
And yet, the share of [...]

 

The Red Rag

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

I’m going to come back to this one, but in the meantime I notice that theredrag.co.uk was registered in November of last year by ‘Ollie Cromwell’. It does rather look as if this was going to be a real clone of Paul Staines’ alter ego.
Redrag.net has felt the need to point out that the author [...]

 

George Monbiot gives whinging lefties a bad name

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

In an open letter in yesterday’s Guardian, George Monbiot attacks Hazel Blears for being, well, Hazel Blears. I have no objection to whinging lefties. Indeed, I often whinge and (definitional objections notwithstanding) have been called a leftie. Monbiot gives us a bad name. Not only that, he makes what he wants to achieve and what [...]

 

Progressive London Conference

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Yesterday saw the Progressive London Conference at Congress House in London. All in all, I thought it was pretty good. There seemed to be very few nutty lefties there and I was pleased that there were a few people there I knew and recognised from my CLP, from blogging, from uni and around and about [...]

 

Of Hansard and of maces

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

Pity the Hansard scribes who had to record and commit John McDonnell’s mace-laden protest against the lack of a substantive vote on the Heathrow expansion. Unable to bring themselves to actually describe what happened, they’ve plumped for
Mr Hoon: [...] Necessarily, when judgments have to be made about the interests of the country, those decisions have [...]
