Conservative Home have a thread running which asks: “Can you produce a better anti-Labour poster?” This is a competition in which all three main political parties should combine their efforts and produce a poster that all three could use and thus save costs. How about: Vote Labour –...

David Cameron has this morning been addressing the Sustainable Consumption Institute conference, outlining five approaches to create a Green Consumer Revolution. What is remarkable about this latest speech is the lack of admission that the five approaches are, in effect, driven by the need of any UK...

So David Cameron has stated that Gordon Brown needs to “get off the fence“ and either accept, or refuse, a televised debate amongst the three main party leaders. This is surely a tad ‘rich’ coming from the man who has sat on his ‘European’ fence for so long, on the...

Do go watch this – 43 minutes well spent! Note: A few years old, but still worth watching!

David Cameron wrote an article for the Observer today, calling on all LibDems to come and join the Conservative Party and it would seem that he has, partly, got his wish if this picture is anything to go by. What with blue going green and yellow going blue, is it any wonder the British electorate are...

So Ed Spheroids, erstwhile Secretary of State for Schools, Families and Children (don’t forget the Chiiildren) has been working for months on plans to cut the eduation bill by £2billion. Wow! Perhaps he would care to produce the paperwork (dated) and screen-shots of any computer work (time and...

One of the main criticisms of the Liberal Democrat Party is that of their existence – what do they really believe in, what do they really stand for? Vince Cable, writing in the Mail, demonstrates exactly why their existence is called into question with this article, which proposes ‘a ten...

Courtesy of Watts Up With That. “There is not, now, much value in arguing about the science of climate change. Even if it’s wrong, enough people now believe it that it may as well be right” Oops!

A report in today’s Sunday Telegraph, by Melissa Kite, suggests that the Conservative Party have a small headache developing. “Party chiefs are struggling to prepare alternative policy blueprints to unveil to grassroots activists, as the mood in Ireland suggests the vote on October 2 could...

Just about everyone in the land, be they parent or not, is firmly convinced that the standard of our education system has probably reached a new nadir. Proof of this must be the fact that the Department of Children, Schools and Families have just issued a new manual to teachers explaining the difference...

The Telegraph mentions that Nigel Farage was interviewed by Andrew Marr today and other than stating Nigel Farage made the claim that ‘most Conservatives Party members really think like Ukip’ and want withdrawal from the EU, whilst also making the valid point that the Conservative leadership...

I am intrigued by this item on the BBC website, that has also been on the various radio stations, in relation to the fact that those selling violent video games and ‘18 rated’ videos to underage children cannot be prosecuted due to an error by the last Conservative Government. “Dozens...

Now and again societies have produced people of stature, people whose words contain so much common sense we wonder why what they said meant that the following societies never seemed to pay heed. Whilst reading ‘Watts Up With That’ one of the commenters on a post made reference to the Farewell...

Much has been written on the subject of equipment and personnel shortages that our Armed Forces suffer due to the inability of our ‘government’ to make decisions. Well here is the proof*: Hey Cap’n, I know we’re short of equipment – but……….! No, the Ass...

Daniel Finkelstein, in the Times, has a post with a topical quiz, allowing you to match the politician with the holiday they are taking. And there was I thinking they had all gone to hell! Damn!

On his blog today, Douglas Carswell, Conservative MP and one of the authors of The Plan,  poses the question of whether we would have more faith in politics if it became less of a profession for the few, and started to be an activity open to everyone?
