Ed Miliband has sent the following message to British athletes ahead of the Olympic Games:

“I want to wish everyone in Team GB the very best of luck for London 2012.
 
“In preparing for these games you have shown extraordinary focus and dedication. The Games have inspired people from every walk of life across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Millions have bought the tickets; thousands have turned out to watch the torch relay and now, with the Games upon us, you must know that the whole nation will be behind you.
 
“Britain is incredibly proud to be hosting the Games and proud of all those who will be representing the country. This is Britain’s chance to shine. We are all behind you and wish every one of you every success. I know you will make us proud.”

    I watched the English Football women’s team last night it was disappointing even thought they  won, the team has only one young Welsh girl on it, and she is to ensure it can be called British. As we will see tonight the British team has   now got three Welsh players , yet these players do not really represent local football .

    By Mike Ion

    Stephen Twigg, Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary is one of the more thoughtful and pragmatic individuals to hold this vitally important brief for some time. To his credit Stephen has been out and about these past two years listening to pupils, teachers, parents and governors and finding out more about the challenges they face on a day-to-day basis. In addition Stephen has been looking closely at some local, regional, national and international programmes that have had a demonstrable impact in raising [...]

    Falkirk selection process suspended by the party

    The Labour Party have this afternoon suspended the selection process for Falkirk, after concerns were raised about “membership recruitment”.

    Working Class MPs – the end of a era?

    By Paul Wheeler

    It is interesting to see that the Labour Party is returning to the vexed issue of its parliamentary selection process. The changes may be well and good.  But maybe we should be asking a bigger question – are we  witnessing the end of working class representation in Parliament? When the Labour Party was first founded it was more simple. Then the explicit  aim was to secure working class representation, and specifically organised labour, in Parliament. Inevitably it became more complicated [...]

    An absolutely classic Lib Dem bar chart

    Earlier this week we brought you a decidedly dodgy bar chart from the Tories, but it seems that they’re not the only party in Camden adopting dubious use of bar charts. Step forward Camden Lib Dems, with this classic of the dodgy Lib Dem bar chart genre (courtesy of Theo Blackwell). Even by the pretty shoddy standards of the yellows, this is a corker:   Update: Haringey Lib Dems might want to work on their bar charts  maths too (via [...]
