I’m sorry, but your writer is on another blog…

If anyone is wondering (unlikely), I have now transferred all my post writing efforts to a different blog. The legendary Birmingham University Labour Students (BULS) online now has the pleasure/burden of me as a full Author. This comes after several years of haphazard contributing. My posts (going back through the ages, seriously, disregard any prior [...]

Red Ed

I believe I drew this a day or two after our new Dear Leader was elected. Quite why I’ve delayed so long in sharing it with the world I’m not certain. Say what you like about Milliband, E. but he’s delightfully easy to draw.

For the Workers

The Guardian, that bastion of trendy middle class metropolitan values, has surprised me by publishing an exceedingly good opinion piece on the need for greater working class representation within the parliamentary Labour party. The article is here, and pretty much speaks for itself.  Worth noting thought that the author – James Mills – is part [...]

Bugger

Suffice to say events did indeed move faster than I blog, and I shall of course not now be blogging on coalition scenarios. So I wake up this morning to a Tory-Lib Dem government, and to pictures of Dave outside No 10. The instinctive reaction to seeing him enter is for a voice inside to [...]

I like ‘em tight…

The last two months have seen a dramatic narrowing of the polls and a massive contraction in the Tory lead over Labour. Most recently a poll put the two parties only two points appart. While for the last fortnight the gap has generally been hovering within the hung parliament territory at 5 points, I would not [...]

Gordon Saved Us

The First of the January-February Blogs, written the first week in February 2010 For much of my time in NZ, while the British Pound Sterling nosedived against the Kiwi Dollar, I would mutter to myself; “Gordon will save us”. I have the utmost faith in the Prime Minister and the fantastic job he is doing. [...]

10 for 2010

Well, Iain Dale did one, so have other Tory bloggers. The Guardian had some of its columnists do a nice video on the topic. I thought I’d follow suit and other some speculative and pointless predictions for the year ahead in the political world: 1) The 2010 UK general election will be held in May [...]

Polls, Money, & Bitches

The latest Ipsos MORI poll shows a drastic reverse in the narrowing of the Tories poll lead. In short: Con 43 (+6) Lab 26 (-5) LD 20 (+2) Other 11 (-3) There can be no hiding the strong probability that this reflects a general public disapproval of the Pre-Budget Report. My first thoughts on reading [...]

Things getting better

Woke up to very pleasing news this morning – a new Ipsos MORI poll shows the Tory lead has dropped by 6% to 37%, only 6 points ahead of Labour on 31%. This is most pleasing. Were these figures applied nationally at the next election, the Observer calculates, the Torys – whilst becoming the largest [...]

From the ashes…

This blog died. Mine often do. They just slip away from me, often in the night. Victims of my neglect – I tend to get bored of things easily. I didn’t even try to hide it, just left it out there as one of the many many pieces of abandoned blogosphere-debris. Reading back through it [...]
