Sir Menzies Campbell, the LibDem front-runner, anounced yesterday that he rejected an alliance with either Labour or the Tories at the next election and committed himself to taking the party firmly to the Left of Labour and ridiculed the Tories for pushing a liberal agenda, remarking "I have worke...

Over the past few weeks Europe has been rocked by debate over the common agricultural policy and it seems that the Euro-Constitution is a dead duck, where do we go from here?

This week I've been reading a really brilliant book and I recommend people to go out and buy it. It's called "News from Nowhere" by the Victorian artist William Morris, a book which was mentioned on "A picture of Britain" last night .It's set in a utopian future after Britain has experienced a socialis...

"Magistrates were entitled not to convict an 'ardent nationalist' who for two years launched into 'Alf Garnett' style rants over the phone to his MP, the high court has ruled." this is an interesting one. what do people think?

Watching the results on election night I felt a variety of conflicting emotions. I felt overjoyed that we didn't get a Tory Government, but at the sametime I'm not exactly happy with New Labour. Pehaps the fundamental point is this, a centre-left party has returned to office for the third time, a firs...

It feels to me like all the fire has gone out of British politics. Let's compare, its 1979, before you or I were on the scene. Trade Unions and the establishment were battling it out and combat of two destinct ideologies, a red blooded Socialism and a cold calculated Conservatism was in progress. Conti...

I just wanted to say that the behaviour in the commons yesterday was absolutely disgusting. The party leaders ceased to have a constructive political debate and instead a slagging match, battering arguments which simply amounted to na na, your're wrong type of politiics.

Now the Pope has gone it will be interesting to see how history will judge him. For my part I feel incredibly empty inside, which i KNOW sounds very odd. John Paul was the sparring-partner I never knew. Whenever he wrote a slurring speech on the evils of homosexuality and abortion I would be the first to s...

So what does the impending (perhaps contemporaneous-with-this-message) death of the Pontiff mean to you? Obviously, there will be no more Popemobile, which is a crying shame. I love that thing. It's like a low-budget forcefield. Should JP2 have retired? Can the pope retire? What are the...

Just walked down my main road yesterday and I saw two massive bilboards with new posters, both by 'new' labour, quoting, 'lowest unemployment in 29 years', and the other threatening boom & bust if the tories are re-elected. Talking to someone last night, they told me that a labour party member ha...
