…did you miss us?

Apologies to those who tried to access the site yesterday – we experienced a server issue which took longer to resolve than we first anticipated.

Thanks for bearing with us.

We’re looking forward to a bumper day on LabourList – with great content from yesterday (that we couldn’t publish) as well as everything that we have planned for today.

Keep checking back today for great content from across the Labour Party and the Labour movement.

Thanks again for your patience.

    Phew! That’s a relief (“We’re back …). It was a strange feeling … the prospect of no more “conversations” with people that I had got to “know” over the years.

    Yesterday must have been a difficult day for you, Mark., and well done for resolving whatever the problem was.

    I guess “The Osborne effect” will be on your agenda, given the downwards revision to 2012 Q1 GDP published yesterday?

    For the record, at the time of the election GDP per capita (constant £2008) was running at £22,360 per annum ; in 2012 Q1, it was running at £22,320 per annum. On your base line (Spending Review 2010), GDP per capita is down 1.2 per cent.

      I was surprised that  nobody picked up on the fact that Cameron has proven himself to be the true “heir to Blair” in that in his constant  and arrogant defence of the dodgy and discredited Jeremy Hunt, Cameron now has his very  own “Mandy”. Just how much more has to be dragged out about Hunt before the wretched man  has to go – and how long before he is bought back?

    The Week in Bits: “Welcome to Britain, 2014. The end can’t come soon enough”

    By Conor Pope

    Impending Armageddon comes as blessed relief for prospective homeowners The prediction that the average price for a small flat in central London will rise to £36million by 2050 was not met with any particular surprise, given the unstoppable force that is the UK’s absurd housing market. Predictability does not, however, negate any feelings of glum impotence towards the hope of one day owning a place to live, and the depressing forecast was only lightened by the increasing likelihood of the […]

    Whose recovery is it?

    By Ian Lavery

    We live in strange times. It is a world where nothing is quite as it seems. For tuning in to the news, picking up the daily papers or checking out the internet it would appear everything is rosy. There’s a recovery, the dark days are over, the Chancellor’s economic plan has worked. But where is this so called recovery? It isn’t manifesting itself in financial rewards for the households in my constituency or indeed most households up and down the […]

    We must build more homes – but how?

    When Ed Miliband announced Labour’s aim of building 200,000 homes a year by 2020 in England last September, the Financial Times reported that housebuilders had called it a ‘wild’ plan and that the party ‘fails to understand how real markets work’. So the task for everyone who wants to see the supply of new homes radically increased is to prove it can be done and set out practical steps to achieve that target within the lifetime of the next government.

    Our Armed Forces – standing up for today’s and remembering yesterday’s

    By Vernon Coaker

    This weekend, Ed Miliband and I are in Afghanistan visiting the Armed Forces in Camp Bastion. The British combat mission may be coming to an end, but it’s clear from what I’ve seen here and what our service men and women have told me: there is much work yet to be done. The loss of 448 members of our brave Armed Forces is an every day reminder of the service and sacrifice that men and women from communities across the […]

    Winning in Tower Hamlets: home to Labour Pride

    By John Biggs

    I’m proud to be leading the fight for Labour in Tower Hamlets. We have activists who have kept the faith, joined by new active party members, and a talented and energetic group of candidates. We are now a united party and we are taking a strong, progressive and positive offer to residents across the borough. There’s no doubt that Tower Hamlets has had a rocky electoral period over the last few years. We have been divided just when we have […]
