I stole this headline from the Family Planning Association because it says it all. Regular readers may have noticed I get rather angry about the Human Embryology Bill. I am utterly delighted to see it pass another hurdle tonight, but I am still apprehensive about tomorrows vote on the abortion limit.
MPs from all parties, including most [...]

A survey today reveals 62% of British women reckon David Cameron would make good marriage material and be good in bed.
With respect to Samantha, I can’t say he’s exactly what I look for in a bloke.

When Tony Blair famously said “power without principle is barren, but principle without power is futile,” he was setting a mood which has dictated the Labour Party’s attitude to policy-making ever since.  Many of the party’s grassroots at the time called it a sellout on their principles - many more accepted that a degree of [...]

Here’s a new post from our friends at Birmingham University Conservative no Future.  Mr. O’Doherty, under the headline ‘Bring Thatcher Back’, cites a recent poll in which two-thirds of Tory voters prefer Thatcher to Cameron.  Although, this may have been a poll of the O’Doherty household, it is quite interesting to see the extent of support [...]

Tony Blair shows us that as far back as 1999 the Tories had no coherent policy on the European Union.  Little changes.

David Cameron allowed an ITV filmcrew into his house during breakfast to film his families morning routine.  He’s had a bit of criticism, we all know how PR conscious he is, but I’m not sure.  Tony Blair was very private with his family, very rarely were they allowed to be interviewed. 
I think what Uncle Dave [...]

I don’t think I’ve ever been referred to as a left-winger in my entire life.  So I was honoured to see this post on the “award-winning” Birmingham University Conservative Future blog, accusing us comrades of harbouring secret left-wing tendencies.
The problem with BUCF is that they mostly appear to spend all their time on their own [...]

Uncle Dave announces a new ground breaking scheme today to encourage the Tory front-bench (stalwarts of moral integrity) to reveal any family members they have working for them.  This is clearly in light of Derek Conway’s ordeal earlier in the week.
Does anybody else think he should extend it to all Tory MPs?  What’s he hiding?

Eastbourne MP Nigel Waterson, the man who has been labelled the “UK’s most homophobic MP“, the man who is a close friend of David Cameron, the man who is proud to belong to societies that ban females, the man I loath so much I have campaigned for the lib dems in the vain hope it will oust him, [...]

Listening to the Today programme this morning, I heard prominent Tory donor Stuart Wheeler rant about how the new EU Treaty was a disgrace, and how he was presenting a case to the High Court in order to have the Commons debate withheld.  One thing to note here is another example of how right-wing lunatics [...]

David Cameron has recently gone off on a rather odd track.  His latest attempt at appearing to be on the side of ‘normal people’ and being a ’strong leader’ is to threaten people - with removing their food and home unless they accept the least worst of the minimum wage jobs.  On top of that, [...]

Not the wise words of this particular comrade, but of David Cameron.  Yesterday I found myself in the odd position of reading The Mail on Sunday.  When you’re bored and in need of a news fix anything will suffice.  The full quote reads:
 ”No, I am what I am,’ he says defensively. ‘I’m modern because I [...]

I have previously claimed the Tories do not currently have the hunger for power that Labour had in 1995, hence why Cameron was stalling. Tara Hamilton-Miller has expressed doubt at this assertion - the Tories are enarmoured after the election speculation - Cameron sees it as a victory - and over the next few months Labour will be on the backfoot.

Oh how I miss thee, Birmingham. A Freshers’ Week has come and gone and, for the first time in nine years (yeah, nine), I’ve not seen a bit of it. I gather from the new committee that Freshers has been a great success yet again this year, building on the huge success of previous years.
This [...]

The Iron Chancellor isn’t meant to like the Iron Lady, I daresay he probably wasn’t that keen on inviting her round to tea.
Yet above all I don’t think Brown would have passed up the opportunity to further rile the Tory backbencers who have done so much to destablise Dave.
This was a slick piece of media management by Labour. Just [...]

I saw a post on the Tories blog which made me think two things.  The first was ‘why do the most frequent readers of the blogs of the Guild of Students political societies appear to be the other side?’.  The second one was ‘Is it a singularly Tory habit to think that the heart of [...]

Cameron recently had his first interview on Newsnight.
Check it out here.
 Cameron is certainly taking a more serious tone and approach to politics. Gone are the days of ‘heir to Blair’ and attempts to rebrand the party. Cameron didn’t talk about the Tories capturing the centre-ground at all. Instead the Tories have realised that the country [...]
