Lords defeat ID cards provisions (again)
This statement has just been released by CCHQ: "Commenting after the House of Lords voted by a majority of 227 - 166 to insist on Tony Blair’s controversial ID pass scheme being voluntary - as Labour’s Manifesto said it would be - Conservative Spokesman Lady Anelay said: “The issue could not be...
Yes I have heard a few commentators air this opinion and the risk of course is that all of the policy reviews will be far form finished and we won’t be able to come up with a viable and coherent manifesto. On the other hand can you really see Brown who thinks he should have been labour leader in 1994 risk the prize he has sort for so many years straight away.
A General Election in 2008?
Speaking to the Scottish Party Conference, David Cameron warned that Gordon Brown may call a snap election after he succeeds Tony Blair. As a result, the Tory leader continued, the party must implement his 'Change To Win' agenda very quickly: "Gordon Brown is running out of money. He's running...
I think Will Self tackled the issue well on Question Time last night when he pointed out that either she must have known about the money or been a idiot. For goodness sake you don’t deal with that amount of cash and not discuss it with your nearest and dearest however for these upwardly mobile socialist perhaps £350,000 is not an amount worth wasting their breath over.
Jeremy Brier: Cheek by Jowell

Having knocked them out with lib dem votes, ming the merciless does the same with BO.
Caption competition for Ming's celebration
From the BBCi homepage.
Sir ming is openly left of centre and hopefully his association with the labour party in the 90’s will lose the party favour with the voters.
word of warning, as a hung parliament is becoming a stronger possibility at the next election will the old scot again side with is old friend Brown.
But on the whole a jolly good thing and glad to see the lib dems being consistent as far as their mistakes go
Sir Ming is new LibDem leader
It looks like a good bit of promotion and will get the party in the papers 3 times: initial with the launch, the sending out of ballot papers and finally the result of the vote. Furthermore more it will be talked about and debated on Question Time and other such programs, so all in all a good image idea. Also I think this is one of the integral stages is the Camerons team plan to show the party has really changes and to give him credibility, this kind of does both.
However it’s a bit corny and cliché, and I am not sure about summing up our values on a page but I will end up voting for it.
"We believe..."
This has been released from CCHQ this evening... "David Cameron, at a Party event tomorrow evening, will set out the case for change and the principles and purpose for modern compassionate Conservatism. He will outline the aims and values of the Party, and he will make it clear what the Conser...

Nicolas Sarkozy - The right-wing sun of French politics
Simon Heffer has called Nicolas Sarkozy, France's interior minister, the "most exciting leader" in Europe. The Economist sees him as the anti-establishment candidate - championing "ordinary folk—but policemen, firemen and supermarket shoppers, not the farmers of yesterday's France". BBC Onli...
