On Newsnight in half an hour, more about Harman's role in this latest Labour funding scandal will emerge. When will it be time for more heads to roll?



Bouncing with Brown but all still to play for

Tribune Thu Aug 16, 2007 at 12:19:54 PM GMT Print-friendly version Facebook

Jon Cruddas, the nearly man in Labour’s deputy leadership election, has some very clear ideas about where the party under the new Prime Minister should be headed. He spoke to René Lavanchy

Just come back from conference.  It was very good.  Cruddas spoke at fringe and was excellent as ususal.  Key policy decisions taken including moves to deal with temporary workers and trident issues.

Call on McDonnell Supporters to vote for cruddas

Wiseman Wed Jun 13, 2007 at 10:14:58 PM GMT Print-friendly version Facebook

A lot has been said about the fact that cruddas did not back mcdonell, for me that was a unwise move.  But  we are were we are.  I would eneourage all mcdonnell supporters to vote for cruddas as a centre left person.  He is honest and an activist.  I will deal with the let-down later.

Trade Union Hustings in Congress House

grayee Thu Jun 07, 2007 at 11:35:53 PM GMT Print-friendly version Facebook

Post on the Trade Unions for Labour (TULO) Hustings held last night in the TUC Headquarters in Congress House last month. See picture is of UNISON Labour Link member Rachel Voller (local Nurse) and Alan Johnson. The main hall was packed. Extra chairs had to be bought in. Brown comes in, lots of clapping, he “works” the front row very well shaking hands and looking very relaxed and confident. He then knocks a microphone off the stage. Recovers well, and starts talking to the audience. A few bits and pieces about his performance.



Unite to fight for what is right

Wiseman Sun Jun 03, 2007 at 09:19:41 PM GMT Print-friendly version Facebook

I will lay this down.  The party needs to recover so be you right wing or left wing eg JR to Glass House, or Jonesy or AWB.  I need to make sure we are all in different ways wanting one thing,  Labour will win the next election with a good progressive Government, with a higher mimimum wage, affordable housing, no racism, equality for all, a feerer NHS and better pensions for those who put us were we are.  We owe it to them!!!

Brown on warpath against left

grimupnorth Thu May 31, 2007 at 09:51:21 AM GMT Print-friendly version Facebook

Today's Times makes grim reading for the left and centre-left. Though less than overwhelmed by the Deputy Leadership hopefuls, I must concede that the four centre-ground candidates have at least tacked to the left. Some (Cruddas, Hain, Harman) more than others ( Benn)



Taxing the Rich, is there really much point?

This post was started before last nights newsnight hustings, the timing seems quite appropriate now. A few thoughts on taxation....



Is Harman the new Cruddas?

Harman's performance on the Newsnight debate seems to have placed her to the left of Jon Cruddas.



Vote Benn and listen carefully to Cruddas

Mike Ion Fri May 25, 2007 at 07:35:37 PM GMT Print-friendly version Facebook

I have long declared my support for Hilary Benn - for me he is someone who embodies the core values of our movement and will help the party to reconnect with its grassroots support.

However, having met and listened to Jon Cruddas I am of the view that not only does he talk a good game he is also someone who can help us move forward as a party and really begin to address some of the core issues around party reform and structure.

I urge you to listen carefully to what Jon has to say - whatever the outcome of the deputy leadership contest he is, I hope and trust, someone who will be around to help shape the future direction of our party and our nation.




Odds shorten on Benn victory

Mike Ion Wed May 23, 2007 at 04:07:39 PM GMT Print-friendly version Facebook

Earlier today William Hill slashed the odds for a Benn victory - he is now 2-1 joint-favourite to become John Prescott's successor. Hilary's campaign chairman, Ian McCartney, said a successful start to the campaign and a good performance at the three deputy leadership hustings held so far was responsible for the turnaround.



Online Campaigns for the Deputy Leadership

BePringle Mon May 21, 2007 at 03:27:38 PM GMT Print-friendly version Facebook

I'm doing my dissertation about the online campaigns of the Labour Party Deputy Leadership candidates and was hoping some of you wouldn't mind spending a minute filling in an online survey about it (only 11 questions and takes hardly any time)

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=879073906621.

The survey is completely anonymous and no results will be revealed until after the election is finished. And even then it will only be in my university dissertation...
