 Haringey Labour falling apart - 4-2-2010 17:51:28
So - another one bites the dust.
Cllr Sheik Thomson, who was Mayor of Haringey for Labour only the year before last, has resigned from the Labour party and become an independent. Last week Cllr Brian Haley resigned from Labour and joined the LibDems. Just before that, Labour Cllr Alan Dobbie resigned from Labour to become [...] more »

Blame Labour - 10-7-2010 8:16:56
The former Labour government withdrew its offer of nearly £9million it had promised Haringey for new primary school buildings. Yes - it was Labour who renegged on the money - not the coalition. I am putting this out there - because locally Labour are trying to say this is down to the coalition. No - [...] more »

Labour’s Legacy Love In - 11-8-2010 12:01:55
Well it wasn’t quite the Rose Garden, but Chris Huhne and Sayeeda Warsi’s joint press conference this morning was certainly surreal. Gone are the days of their Question Time spats. Today they were united in one cause only – slamming Labour: They are demanding that the Labour leadership contenders who were in the last cabinet [...] more »

Does Labour’s Keith Martin love his Nazi imagery? - 30-5-2009 10:07:08
In between doing blog posts guides on how women can pole dance and discussing Donnie Cassidy’s hair, listing countries he’d like to invade, blogging pics of black kids, Labour’s Keith Martin likes to mention Hitler and the Nazi’s a lot on his Labour Party logoed blog.
Not sure you can argue this is a personal blog [...] more »

Labour manifesto: More ID cards, less NHS IT - 12-4-2010 12:42:44
New Labour, mostly old policies
The most remarkable thing about the Labour Party manifesto - A future fair for all (pdf) - is how unconcerned it appears to be with civil liberties or the unintended consequences of its actions when it comes to individual liberty. All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds - trust in the state to provide, and it will do so.… more »

A comment on legal education, labour and employment scholarship and labour and employment practice - 9-9-2009 4:13:51
This is a great time to be a Canadian labour and employment lawyer, but Canadian law schools now employ fewer full-time labour and employment professors than they have in decades. This post highlights the issue and invites comment about the relationship between our law schools and the maintenance of a vibrant and well-qualified labour and [...] more »

Leo Barraclough the labour Party candidate has reacted to remarks made by Gordon Brown on the Politics.co.uk website suggesting Labour voters should back the Lib Dems in seats where Labour cannot win – a statement which was described as ‘astonishing’ by the towns sitting Lib Dem MP Chris Huhne.

Brown: Vote Lib Dem to keep Tories out - 9-4-2010 20:45:28
In an interview with online political magazine ‘Politcs.co.uk’ Labour Leader Gordon Brown has suggested that in seats where the Labour candidate has no hope of winning, then Labour Party supporters should vote for the Liberal Democrat candidate to prevent Conservatives from gaining a seat:
“I want everybody to vote Labour and I [...] more »

British Labour Party making same mistakes as Democratic Party - 1-9-2010 16:05:30
John Wight in Socialist Unity tracks the woeful recent history of the Labour Party in abandoning its traditional base using the Daily Mirror’s endorsement of David Miliband for Labour leader as an example. In essence, the Mirror has succumbed to the myth that Labour needs to reconnect to middle England rather than its core vote [...] more »

10 Days to Destroy the Labour Party - 26-4-2010 7:55:46
As the Tories shift resources towards Labour seats and the Labour Party vote leaves the building with Elvis, the tantalising prospect of a Labour Party wipe out seems possible. Labour’s messages seem calibrated only to appeal only to their core activist vote and their client vote dependent on welfare transfers. Middle-England is not being wooed [...] more »

Who Will Be the Next Labour Party Leader? - 17-5-2010 6:58:17
We don’t like writing too much about political spread betting. It is part of the offering of course, and the Labour Party leadership is really crying out for some commentary. We think it’s massively overbought on one candidate.
David Miliband is hot favourite to get the Labour crown. There are a lot of heavyweights lined up [...] more »

Labour leader stays silent about church abuse but please watch his TV ad - 22-5-2009 19:47:23
Not one comment from Eamon Gilmore about the Ryan report on their website. A big speech about unions though. It seems the most imporant thing for Gilmore right now is the TV ad that makes him look like Dad No. 1 in Ireland. That’s front and centre on the Labour site. All that Labour has [...] more »

Rats in a sack, ctd - 5-6-2009 7:40:20
The meltdown of Gordon Brown's Labour government continues. I was struck by this passage of resigning Cabinet minister James Purnell's letter to the Prime Minister. It is very revealing in what it says not about the differences between these men, but their similarities: “We both love the Labour Party. Party. I have worked for it for 20 years and you for far longer. ‘‘We know we owe it everything and it owes us nothing. I... more »
