Conservative leader David Cameron has stood behind Philippa Stroud, amid allegations that she was part of a group which sought to ‘cure’ homosexuality using prayer and spirituality. The Observer reported the allegations, however there has been little on the broadcast news. Twitter has been alive with #PhillippaStroud tweets. There are blogs from people claiming they [...] A Scottish Labour candidate, Stuart MacLennan, said some offensive things about Conservative and Liberal Democrat leaders on his twitter page, long before he became a candidate. Labour lost their backbone and sacked him as candidate for Moray. The leader of the Scottish Conservatives, Annabel Goldie, said she was ”disgusted” by the “disgraceful behaviour from a Labour candidate”. [...] Chris Grayling (still an MP, but only for another 4 days) still hasn’t published a retraction or clarification that I can find, on whether he meant to suggest that it’s okay to break the law. Cameron hasn’t rebuked him either. Anastasia Beaumont-Bott, who was the first ever chairman of LGBTory has told of her guilt for having [...] On Easter Sunday there was a furore because Chris Grayling (MP for another 24 hours or so), said that Bed & Breakfast owners should be able to turn away gay customers.

It’s [...] George Osborne, the man who David Cameron put in charge of his finances, and the man who would become Chancellor if the Tories get in a position of power, has been on the BBC News Channel again. He’s berated the Prime Minister and his Darling, but that’s all he seems capable of doing. “this country [...] I’ve always been slightly suspicious of the Jobcentre, the Dole, DHSS, whatever the Government of the day wants to call it. It’s real name is the Welfare State. Essentially, it’s the welfare state. The bit which props us up when we’re down. At least that’s the job it’s supposed to do. Over the years some [...] This one made me chortle. A nice crisp winters morning at work, nursing a hangover from a Tuesday night which got far too alcoholic, far too quickly. The UK’s Conservative Party has said that the ‘units of alcohol’ should be scrapped because it’s too confusing. Andrew Lansley, the shadow health bod in the Tory Party, [...] BBC News report today that the Conservative MEP Nirj Deva has said that the Chief Executive of Eurostar should step down. From an engineering perspective, the problems with the trains are totally understandable – the electric trains are running very cold in the outdoors where temperatures are below zero, and condensation forms inside the [...] |
