    I am a member of the Cannock Chase Labour party and have supported Mark Davis from the start, but now this is over I would like to congratulate Janos,  It’s good that we have a local candidate and cant wait to get cracking on our campaign to defeat Aiden.

    Well done Janos. After many parliamentary candidate selections we now at last have a candidate that is local, respected, experienced and worthy of being elected, whose roots are firmly in the community in which he serves.

    Its a start but still not enough

In addition Stephen has been looking closely at some local, regional, national and international programmes that have had a demonstrable impact in raising [...]

A Labour spokesperson told us this afternoon: “We have suspended the start of the selection process of the Falkirk parliamentary seat. Concerns have been raised about membership [...]

    Working Class MPs – the end of a era?

    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?

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 [...]
