    Livingstone campaign statement on New Statesman interview

    By Mark Ferguson

    A spokesperson for Ken Livingstone said: “Ken is clearly saying the advance of lesbian and gay people into politics is unequivocally a good thing. ‘Unlike many in the Conservative Party he has fought for equality for LGBT rights throughout his life including when it was highly controversial. He established Britain’s first civil partnership register, fought Clause 28 and backed LGBT Pride. ‘Ken will reinstate London’s LGBT Pride annual reception at City Hall, put the Greater London Authority back into the [...]

    If someone had told me a year ago that Ken Livingstone would be the first politician in the world to announce a policy by text message frankly I wouldn’t have believed them. Neither would I have believed them if they’d told me Ken Livingstone would be the first British politician to have a bespoke social media site created which tracks member activity and uses pioneering methods which has resulted in record levels of activists out on the streets.

    The launch of Liberal Left is to be welcomed

    By Neal Lawson

But there is more than electoral necessity at [...]

    Birmingham by-election on the way?

    By Mark Ferguson

    There’s an interesting post by Rafael Behr over at the New Statesman today about the possibility of Labour MPs standing down from Parliament to run either as mayoral candidates or police commissioners. According to Behr, much of the interest is around Birmingham: “Two names often cited as possible candidates for the Birmingham mayoralty are Liam Byrne, shadow work and pensions secretary and MP for the city’s Hodge Hill constituency, and Gisela Stuart, MP for Edgbaston. Of the two, fans of [...]

    New pro-Labour, anti-coalition Lib Dem group launched

    By Mark Ferguson

    A new Lib Dem group – Liberal Left – have announced their launch today. The group is opposed to Lib Dem membership of the coalition, and appeared avowedly pro-Labour. Their launch statement includes the phrase: “A future coalition with Labour and others on the liberal left is more likely to secure Liberal Democrat goals than a further coalition with the Conservatives and we should actively work to make that possible.” More on this at The Guardian.
