• Mark Fisher to Step Down

  by Phil BC (@averyps) on Thursday, 11th March 2010

  The faction fight is damaging the campaign to make sure Mark's seat stays Labour...

  I've just heard that Stoke Central MP, Mark Fisher (pictured) will be standing down at the general election. Mark has been ill for some time and feels someone in better health is needed to see the BNP off in the constituency.

  Of course, this couldn't have come at a worse time for my CLP. The faction fight that has blighted the party since the Labour mayor of Stoke, Mark Meredith, was dep... read more »

• 'Positive Policy' - Defence: Part 4 of 4 - Conclusion

  by Matthew Taylor (@MTPT) on Friday, 5th March 2010

  We need armed forces which are capable of performing a variety of missions, and we need to be able to deploy them in a broader range of capabilities. Other policies which I have not focused on are also important. In particular, increases to the RAF's airlift capability (already underway) must continue, and we must procure new aircraft carriers to replace the Invincible class ships which are now being retired. Neither of these are new lessons: the need for the former was demonstrated in the Fa... read more »

• A Major chance for Gordon?

  by Sara Bedford (@sarabedford) on Monday, 1st March 2010

  So the Tories haven't sealed the deal yet. There seems to be a great deal of puzzlement as to why HM Official Opposition isn't gliding gracefully into the role of HM Government, most of all from the Conservatives themselves. Even Labour seem confused.

  Some believe that the Conservatives have been only too ready to sit back and let Labour lose the election, for instance feeding the media frenzy over the Brown bullying allegations last week, rather than just pressing on with the Conserva... read more »

• Party Conference: fair is worth fighting for

  by Jim Jepps (@jim_jepps) - Green Party on Sunday, 21st February 2010

  Now I'm back and conference is over I'll try to knock out a few posts to give a flavour of different themes going on over the last four days. I think it's only reasonable to start with the Greens theme for the election encapsulated in the slogan 'fair is worth fighting for'.

  Green Party leader, Caroline Lucas, made a very focused speech to conference on the prospects for victory, geeing everyone up and urging everyone to do their bit in the coming election.

  I particularly liked ... read more »

• MPs to vote for vote on how we vote. Huh?

  by Constantly Furious (@constantfury) - LPUK on Tuesday, 9th February 2010

  Yes, our esteemed MPs will today vote on whether we should vote on how we are going to vote.

  You might have thought that, in the teeth of a disastrous recession, in the midst of broken Britain and in the depths of an unwinnable war - a war that has now killed more soldiers than we lost in the Falklands - there might be better things for MP's to spend their time on.

  But of course, if you thought that, you'd be forgetting the utter, naked desperation of Gordon Brown and his team t... read more »

• Expenses: What is to be Done?

  by Phil BC (@averyps) on Sunday, 7th February 2010

  Elliot Morley, David Chaytor, Jim Devine. As Labour MPs go they're cards aren't they? It's not enough that they've allegedly swindled the system by submitting false expense claims *and* will be in receipt of at least £30k "relocation money" when they step down, but now the right honourable members have the cheek to pursue parliamentary privilege defence to avoid court action.

• MEPs nod through £1,300 rise

  by Marta Andreasen MEP (@mandreasen) - UKIP on Saturday, 6th February 2010

  Budget committee agrees to increase the parliamentary assistance allowance in €1,500 ( £1,300 )

  A long debate took place at Parliament's Budget Committee last week about how to cover the €1,500 increase on parliamentary assistance for the implementation of the Lisbon Treaty. The discussion was not about deciding whether or not it it should be paid but just how it would be financed. The decision to pay it out had already been made by the Bureau of the Parliamen... read more »
