My take on Brown’s departure

With the announced resignation of Mr Brown this afternoon, it's playing on my mind that a Liberal Democrat/Labour coalition looks more and more likely. Talks have formally opened between the two parties which begs the question as to what's going on exactly with the Tory talks? I reckon, it was one of Clegg's conditions of forming a coalition; he didn't want to be seen as backing a failed party but with a new, refreshed, re-vitalised Labour party perhaps the Sheffield loving liberal leader will Continue reading [...]

Brown steps down as Labour leader

Prime minister and leader of the Labour party Gordon Brown,  has today announced that he will step down from his post and allow a leadership election to take place in the wake of news that Liberal Democrats have officially opened talks with the so-called failed party.

All quiet on the Westminster front

Many of you are probably wondering why I’ve not posted anything political for a while. Truth is, it’s all seemed to have died down; Clegg has full support of his Liberal followers, senior Tories have warmed to the idea of the coalition and the Labour leadership battle is just getting under way with both Milliband brothers standing for election – there’s nothing overly dramatic going on. It’s all a bit quiet and happy happy…a bit too happy quiet and happy happy. But you know, if Continue reading [...]
