As part of Paul Burgin’s “Mars Hill” blog, I was interviewed for his series “Twenty Questions to a Fellow Blogger.” Click here to read it. FacebookTwitter Wikio Wikio

Good News Everyone! Prior to my Total Politics award from last week, where I was told I was the 10th best Labour Blog in the UK, I’m delighted (again) and surprised (again) to be given the following award: Once again, having drawn your attention to it (twice), I’d just like to thank everyone who voted [...]

Good news everyone! Long before expected, I’ve entered Number 10! What? No, not Number 10 Downing Street. Something important! I’m officially the 10th best Labour blogger in the United Kingdom. Look, here’s proof in this link, here. Remember, this was democratic and thus entirely legitimate. All the people in the world were able to vote [...]

Having finally finished my essay on the challenges (and their solutions) facing the Parti Socialiste, and therefore the definitive end to my Year Abroad, I’ve decided to take a break from the internets; blogging, twitter and even Facebook. (Sorry Rolfo, no more propaganda!) I’ll still be checking my email accounts regularly though. I’m going to [...]

I’d just like to ask for your vote. I’ve been writing this blog since August 20th, 2007. That’s just about three years now.

I’m sure it’s a total stitch-up reserved for some snooty journalist. (Prove me wrong, guys, prove me wrong.) How did I pick [...]

Bloggers launch the “Coalition Against No Platform“ Today I am pleased to publish a new page, the Coalition Against No Platform, a directory of bloggers and articles from all political parties. We believe that the No Platform policy, where speakers refuse to participate in debates at which the BNP or other undesirables are present is foolish [...]

Bonjour! Today was the first day “on placement”. Woke at 0530 for the flight from Birmingham to Nice. I like flying, generally. This flight was not quite so pleasant as I would say almost all the other passengers were British holiday-makers. I got stuck next to a bloody child screaming “I want to sit by [...]

I haven’t had time to do some proper blogging recently due to preparations for my emmigration on Monday. However, if you anoraks really need something to read, you can head to my new copyright page! It may seem a little over the top for a lowly (but growing in popularity) blog by a student, but [...]
