    I’ll be thrilled if Labour starts to make the case for a Republic. How can we call ourselves a progressive party if we continue to support this out of date institution.

    No the whole country is not thrilled it is tedious, boring and nothing more than pandering to people who do little with their lives except waste our money. There are some 10 million people in the UK who are republicans and lots more who could not give too hoots about the Royals.

    I wish Labour leaders will understand that they do not speak for all the party or indeed the nation with their assumption that everyone loves the Royals. A change in words so that we are not all put in the lets all make out their wonderful box would be a good start. What is disgusting is this dull issue will now knock of the real issues in the news and no doubt Cameron will yet again get of scot free as the news agenda will not be mentioning Leaveson for a while will they!

    Technology isn’t just something for geeks to worry about

    By Jim Knight

    If you Google ‘Ed Miliband,’ you quickly get the old stuff about him being a bit of geek. His appearance at Google’s big Tent on Wednesday almost begged the headline “Geek Goes Home”. But that assumes technology is just something for geeks to worry about, and that Ed is a techie. Neither are true. What we saw on Wednesday was a leader with the courage to tell Google straight that it should live up to its founding principles on the [...]

    Today End Violence Against Women (EVAW) releases a new report auditing the Government’s progress in acting to prevent violence against women and girls. And with the revelations from Operation Yewtree and group exploitation cases set to roll on for many months , we hope the response from Parliament, policy-makers and the media will be unanimous : that prevention must be at the top of the priority list for any government, of any colour, from now on. On that basis, it’s [...]
