Miserable 'Bummer' Harris
Smug-faced transport minister, 'Tom' Harris, says he just wanted to "kick start a debate" with his pathetic remarks on Britain's "miserable" attitude. Harris just wants to "understand". How patronising. How very New Labour. Why doesn't he just get out of his cosy bubble and talk to people.

Boris, The Olympic Messenger
When the 2012 London Olympics go pear-shaped, don't blame Boris. But we can already start to thank him for forcing New Labour politicians and their big business partners to start to own up to this financial shambles.

Burnham's Got Too Big For His Boots
Liberty director, Shami Chakrabarti, is threatening to sue cabinet minister, Andy Burnham, who she says "set out to smear" her and former Conservative MP, David Davis. Writing in the New Labour 'magazine', Progress, Burnham, said he found it "very curious in the man who was, and still is I believe, an exponent of capital punishment, having late-night, hand-wringing, heart-melting phone calls with Shami Chakrabarti."

Cabinet Split Over Planning Quango
Buried deep in Blears' missing laptop and buried in a BBC report on the alleged theft, was a file giving just a small glimmer of hope to the growing campaign against the ridiculous expansion of Heathrow airport and Brown's 'eco-towns' con.
Brown Set To Tighten His Grip On Power
The new EU Treaty/Constitution has passed through the Lords and Brown has survived his last political hurdle for the time being. He can now tighten his grip on the government and the country but had better watch out for those 'events'.

PMQs: TV Highlight Of The Week
It's that time of the week again when Headcases meets Big Brother in 'da House. Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) are a great chance for MPs to say, 'Look mum, I'm on the telly'.
Casey Delivers Some 'Sobering' Waffle
Good to see Blair's pet New Labour 'Respect' project is alive and well and doing the rounds of the lapdogs at the BBC. It's in the sober hands of the once discredited 'respect tsar', Louise Casey.
Euro-Boy Clegg Set To Save The Treaty, Again
What part of 'Liberal Democratic Party' don't the LibDems understand? This afternoon they had the chance to end once and for all the undemocratic farce that is the new EU Constitution/Treaty. Fat chance with Euro-boy Clegg in charge.

The X-Files Strike Again
Communities secretary, Hazel Blears' laptop containing sensitive information on 'defence and extremism' has gone missing, allegedly stolen from her Salford constituency office. To lose one set of secret or sensitive files is unfortunate but to lose three in a row...
The Extremist Worm In The Bud
Dispatches, From Jail to Jihad, was more than a brave attempt to expose the alleged radicalisation of young Muslim men in prisons and London's urban gangs. It exposed the worm in the bud.

Bush and Brown, The Mutual Admiration Society
It was the mutual admiration society today, as Bush and Brown fawned over each other. If any two men ever needed each other and deserved each other, it is these two. Both are facing disasters in public opinion polls and both are frantically searching for their legacies.
Yo, Blair! The Boys Are Back In Town
One is a powerful political force on the world stage, on a mission from God. The other is President of the United States. Bush and Blair meet today in London for breakfast, only this time there'll be no open mics to record the conversation.

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?
Bush is in London looking for his legacy on his farewell world tour. This time Brown won't dither. He will meet him, be photographed with him, touch him, sign him. Maybe they'll swap tips on what to say during both their farewell tours?
