South Shields MP looking to “the future” Having read David Miliband’s interview with John Rentoul in The Independent on Sunday you might be excused for thinking that the Foreign Secretary hasn’t gone bananas, but his views illustrate the wider difficulties faced by Labour with Brown at it’s helm. His repeated references to New Labour are coupled with links to “declinism” and unpopular conceptions about the government, Europe, and our attempts to reign in Iran’s nuclear ambitions. He does Well, for a man whose party poll ratings are somewhat in decline Enda Kenny seems remarkable chipper to judge from an interesting interview in the Mail on Sunday today with Jason O’Toole. First prize for outstanding statement of the obvious… ‘I believe deep down, the electorate are just turned off this Government hugely.’ Hmmm… still, I think there’s more than a word of truth in what he says next… If the economy rectified itself in the morning, I think they’re still going to change thTVNZ has a new poll out tonight confirming that Labour are finally clawing back some support from National. Goff’s approval ratings are also up. Like I said the other day, I think this is down to the story of Bill English’s housing allowance breaking back in August. Many political reporters focus on recent events when they’re looking for post hoc explanations for polls; I think you have to go back at least a month. My theory is that most people don’t pay too much attention to politics outsid

Let's look at the second chapter of Nick Clegg's Demos pamphlet. Chapter 2 is titled "The progressive split" and looks at the way the Labour Party supplanted the Liberals after the First World War. There is something wonderfully eccentric in a political leader issuing a pamphlet discussing the finer points of the Liberal Party's performance in the 1923 general election. I certainly don't want to discourLONDON – British Prime Minister Gordon  Brown’s ruling Labour Party appears to have lost “the will to live” and must fight harder if it ...

I am proud of my country, Sri Lanka, which has just been able to vanquish a formidable, ferocious and fascistic foe, despite its vast global network and in the face of considerable external pressure. I am proud that my country Sri Lanka has been able to restore its territorial unity and integrity and reasssert its independence and sovereignty. I am proud of the Sri Lankan armed forces which have achieved that which the armies of major powers have been unable to in many parts of the world.

Neutrality and national sovereignty have deep roots in Sweden, one of the few corners of Europe to have stayed outside the European armed conflicts since the Napeolonic Wars. Officially, joining the European Union and the supranational decision-making within the European Community was a major step for Sweden, but despite the positive referendum, basic Swedish attitudes dAh, this was the week of the Glenn Beck frog scandal – read all about it here : You know the old saying, if you put a frog into boiling water, he’s going to jump right out, because he’s scalding hot, but if you place the frog in lukewarm water and gradually raise the temperature, it won’t realize what’s happening and die?

Many within Labour have already given up on the next election and some are even calling for Brown to resign for the sake of the Party. Both the Prime Minister and his Party are sinking further in popularity, but don’t seem to be doing much about it. Brown has tried to rally support through international efforts such as the G20 meetings, but this has been greatly frustrated with the latest meet

Gordon Brown must be shaking in his boots at the prospect of Huddersfield MP Barry Sheerman ousting Tony Lloyd from the chairmanship of the Parliamentary Labour Party. The notion is being touted up ’ere as a move that “could put the Prime Minister’s job in peril”.

The American political system is bogged in complete unwillingness to catch up with the rest of the world in healthcare and it is worth remembering why Congress is gridlocked – or rather lobby-locked.  Primary elections are the primary cause of that.

As the inquest closes into the death of two women bullied by gangs, the Home Secretary says officials failed them By Brian Brady and Jane Merrick In a remarkable intervention, the Home Secretary will this week attack the police over the lack of help offered to a mother who killed herself and her disabled daughter after they suffered years of bullying.
