Local Council by-elections newspaper coverage

Mr Chris Mead over at the PA has covered recent local election results under the headline "Labour in by-election triumph".

Basically in 7 recent resullts Labour had one good result.

I wonder if Mr Mead is biased?

Red Ed working on Blair ll with champagne socialist

Some new broom. Red Ed is hiring Alastair Campbell Mark II to be director of strategy or in other words Labour Party master of dirty tricks.

The man is Tory hating Tom Baldwin
according to some a liberal coke snorter who outed Dr Kelly during the aftermath of the Labour party dodgy Iraq folder fiasco.

Oh he is also married to a millionairess as a socialist I am sure he does not benefit from his wifes money, Yeh right

Former Labour Party minister hung out to dry by Red Ed

The former Labour Party minister who, this morning, called for the legalising of drugs was disowned by Red Ed before tea time.

Red Ed needs to get a grip on the party before it descends into complete chaos.

Former Labour Party Minister says heroin and cocaine should be made legal

Six months after losing the election Labour Party Minister Bob Ainsworth who was responsible for Labour government drug policy has called for all drugs to be legalised.

In a breathtakingly hypocritical example of political opportunism Ainsworth u-turns on 13 tears of Labour government policy.

As usual Labour radical in the lala land of opposition but as we saw far more conservative in power.

As evidence of how bankrupt he and Labour are is that he blamed a potential media backlash as the reason why Labour did not change their policy. That's leadership, NOT.

BBC has made this empty comment its main headline today.

Gordon Brown lied about saving the banking system

Gordon Brown has been shown to have lied about his claimed "saving the World (banking system").

In fact it has now been shown that The Bank of England boss Mervyn King proposed the idea at least 6 months before Brown said he came up with the idea.

So rather than saving the banking system he contributed to our troubles by not acting until the system was going down the pan

Same old irresponsible Labour Party

Red Ed Miliband thinks 6th formers should be able to protest against government education policy. Red Ken Livingstone takes a photo opportunity with protesting college students. Shame they weren't as caring when the Labour party caused the economic problems the government have now to sort out.

I don't recall Labour encouraging street protest against their policies but of course so called socialist policies are good by definition

Labour shadow Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper

Labour is preparing a break with its recent past by dropping its unquestioning support of US foreign policy under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.

Yvette Cooper, the shadow Foreign Secretary, said America was by far the UK's most important foreign ally, but Britain should be prepared to speak out in certain circumstances.

Ms Cooper said that under Mr Blair and Mr Brown, ministers did raise concerns with the Bush administration both over human rights and aspects of the war in Iraq, but perhaps should have done so publicly. "If you look at some of the things that George Bush said about water-boarding it's just shocking – really troubling. Guantanamo Bay was a huge problem and area of disagreement. Wherever we did not make that sufficiently clear I think that was the wrong thing to do. We should have said very clearly and strongly that that was the wrong approach."

Ms Cooper said: "My initial thoughts are we got it wrong on Iraq. I thought there were weapons of mass destruction and there weren't, and that was wrong. We have to recognise that and face up to that.

Well thats all right then I am sure the relatives of the 10's of thousands of died innocent Iraqies will sleep easier now.
