Do Young Momentum Enthusiasts Know That Jeremy Corbyn Really Wants Brexit?
In the New Statesman of 30 June Stephen Bush tells us that the position of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is of less relevance than (in Stephen’s view) the fact that most Labour MPs are pro-Brexit. To my mind this … Continue reading
Regional pay: how to increase the North-South divide and weaken the ConDem coalition?
As anticipated following Chancellor George Osborne’s budget, Health Secretary Andrew Lansley has now declared that ‘regional’ pay for health workers is on the agenda. Needless to say, those in the South-East will earn more under this arrangement than colleagues further North. … Continue reading

CSA charges: the ConDems punish women and children, and shield men (again)

Ed hapless; future hopeless; LibDems shameless (unless they cross the floor)?
Ed Miliband continues to lack traction with the electorate; Nick Clegg tilts at EU rainbows whilst fully aware that David Cameron, holding the LibDems over a barrel, barely cares; unemployment is approaching 3 million. How much worse can it get? … Continue reading

LibDems prop up the Coalition; they don’t protect us from it
It takes a special sort of bare-faced nerve to be a LibDem politician right now. Extraordinarily, they ask us to agree that the Coalition is being molded by them in positive ways and would, by inference, be ‘worse’ without them. … Continue reading
The Murdock miasma driving Clegg via Cable from Cameron – what next?
The extraordinary revelations of the past week, as grim fact upon grim fact is revealed in the News of the World phone-hacking horror story, are we all agree only the beginning. What comes next, we are also all agreed, is … Continue reading
