  • Comment Europe Ed Miliband should campaign for François Hollande

    Ed Miliband should campaign for François Hollande

    The Presidential election in France to be held on 22 April with a further round on 5 May, if necessary, matters hugely to the rest of Europe. Were Francois Hollande to win, there would be one significant voice at the top table in Europe opposed to the current centre-right imposition of continent-wide austerity as the sole solution to the economic crisis. France would provide an alternative policy, and a humane one to boot, which is lacking at present. Chancellor Merkel [...]

  • Comment Cameron’s cleaner plan leaves out the 99%

    Cameron’s cleaner plan leaves out the 99%

    Poor Dave. Everything’s going wrong and he just doesn’t have a clue what to do, does he? He’s sitting on an economic mess that is getting worse by the day. None of the plans seem to be quite working as they’d hoped. Incredibly, Gideon’s made-up economic model “Expansionary Fiscal Contraction” (We’ll call it “Cutting for Growth” shall we?) isn’t working out so well. Unemployment is rising! Inflation is still high! Growth is shrinking faster than Michael Gove’s grip on reality! [...]

    Lansley and me…

    There’s been quite a lot of Andrew Lansley in the press lately – mostly because he’s been making a terrible mess of NHS “reform”. It seems that no-one else can think of anything good to say about his reforms, especially the Prime Minister whose best riposte so far has been something along the lines of “Errrm, there’s a doctor in Doncaster who likes them…so there.” Enlightening, I’m sure. Now he’s been given the magical vote of confidence from Cameron – [...]

  • Comment Local Government Elected City Mayors are an opportunity for Labour – if the party takes a positive approach

    Elected City Mayors are an opportunity for Labour – if the party takes a positive approach

    Labour run Liverpool Council voted this week to go straight to the election in May for a directly elected mayor, bypassing the referendum. This is significant. Not only does this open up the opportunity for Labour to gain more powers in the City, but it also sets the tone for other cities facing referendums in May. At present, Labour currently has four directly elected mayors; Hackney, Lewisham, Newham and Leicester. But many would argue that there should be more. Labour [...]

    Why the Left should beware Salmond-onomics

    Following statements in both Westminster and Holyrood on the forthcoming referendum on separation, the debate on Scotland’s economic future has now been fully engaged. At stake in the referendum will be the nature of the new Scotland – either a low corporate tax, more oil and gas dependent economy on the SNP’s model, or a Scotland prepared to join the new agenda being advanced by the European left on reducing income inequality, and securing long-term investment in manufacturing and other [...]
