There’s only one choice this year

This year is an election year. We now know this for certain, as Rishi Sunak confirmed as much in an interview the BBC on Thursday 4 January. Exactly when the election will take place is still yet to be seen, despite Sunak’s unconvincing line that his working assumption is that it will be in the second half of the year. With an election on the horizon, we are presented with an opportunity to choose. And for my money, there’s only one clear choice.

In his relatively short tenure as leader of the Labour Party, he's proved almost every political Continue reading [...]

Corbyn’s a Principled Man: But He Cares Nothing About the Future of the Labour Party

I'm not normally one to comment on the affairs or issues of political parties other than my own (the Liberal Democrats in case you didn't know), but the fallout from Thursday's referendum and its impact on the Labour Party has got me and indeed the whole nation wondering just what the hell is going on.

A Mock(ery) Election

The past few months have seen nothing but antagonistic and negative press regarding the Labour leadership contest. Seeing the papers this morning is no different and this whole business really angers me.
This enitre leadership  contest has been a joke and has made a mockery of the Labour Party. Whilst the Liberal Democrats elected our leader quietly and with dignity, Labour have opened a public blood-bath and are tearing themselves apart. What trust can/should the British public put in a party Continue reading [...]
