Glenis Willmott MEP, leader of the Labour group in Europe, tabled a proposal calling for an amendment to Europe’s workplace safety directive “to prevent the victimisation, dismissal or the refusal of employment or ‘blacklisting’ of workers or their representatives.” Unfortunately, the European Liberal Democrats decided to vote along with Centre-Right parties in Europe, against the [...] Yes, it’s time to look at the news from today… Clegg defiant against the voters An odd day to read the news, Nick Clegg says people should not “write off” the Lib Dems, despite them slumping to sixth place in the Barnsley Central by-election. “”In truth it was a no contest for any non-Labour candidate,” [...] “My speech was seen and heard on the BBC and in the interests of impartiality and fairness, so the prime minister’s should be.” Ed Miliband. Sorry, Ed, I missed it. I’ll probably miss Cameron’s too. No hardship, I missed the Liberal Democrat leader’s speech. Greens and UKIP too! Party Leader speeches are just over-rated opportunities [...] I listened to Liberal Democrat Lynne Featherstone on Friday gone, as she told the TUC’s LGBT conference that she fully supported them. This talk was followed by a Q&A session, cut very short because she had more important things to do. The questioning, as you might expect, was slanted towards “why have the Liberals got [...] VAT in the UK will rise to 20 percent come January 2011, as announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer today. George Osborne MP announced the tax rise whilst flanked on either side by Liberal Democrat MPs. I was reminded of this advert from the Liberal Democrats back in April this year.

Photography: Kings Cross Liberal Democrats The photograph is also unique because: It was published by the King’s Cross Liberal Democrats, without permission. It bears no relevance to the subject it was published [...] The party in ‘power’ in Camden has demonstrated that it has no understanding of the conditions they lay out to their tenants. Residents in Camden’s social housing are given one condition in particualr that they shoud not let anyone into communal areas if they aren’t known to them. Official workers can be let in, to [...] The Mayor of Camden has been suspended from his post, after being arrested by the Metropolitan Police on suspicion of claiming bisability benefits illegally. 55 year old Omar Faruque Ansari hasn’t even been in the job for two years. Camden Council were very quick to point out that the alleged offences “don’t relate to Mr [...] Lib Dem MP Simon Hughes visited King’s Cross recently, and to celebrate, there was a photo opportunity with the other Liberals in the area. Confusingly, the photo op was in St Pancras International. I’m sure Simon enjoyed his trip to King’s Cross, or was it St Pancras? He was there to goad Frank Dobson, because [...] |
