Could Blair have impeded the Tory surge? On Friday I got into an argument with the Labour-leaning blogger I have most respect for, Paul Linford, over what would have happened to the party if Tony had not stepped down in June 2007. I felt that Labour would be doing better - Paul disagreed. He argued: “..Sure, there [...]

When we are asked the question about the relative popularity of right wing blogs compared to their left wing equivalents I think the point is well made that it is easier to blog in opposition. Although there are some splendid left bloggers such as Skipper , Hopi Sen, Paul Linford , Political Futures and Sadie's Tavern to name but a few, it is obviously more difficult to be both constructive...

More than ten years after ex-Tory MP Walter Sweeney lost his Vale of Glamorgan seat, he is making a comeback by standing in the Haltemprice and Howden by-election. So why has he chosen to re-enter national politics? And why is he standing as an independent against Tory MP David Davis? Paul Linford suggests a revenge match. I had to ask... Mr Sweeney tells me: Ma chere Femme de Resistance,...

Paul Linford thinks there might be hope for our beleaguered PM. But... "Were a minister to resign now on the grounds that he or she could not support Mr Brown's continued leadership, it would surely do for the Prime Minister."My money's on the Business Secretary.

Paul Linford suggests that Brown might be wise to ditch Alistair Darling : "But for me, the reason Mr Darling should be replaced is the same two reasons that he should never have got the job in the first place - one, because he is Scottish, two, because he is rather dull. It was always going to be the case that, with Brown as premier, having another Scot in what is effectively the No...

... the final years of the Major government. By a striking coincidence there’s a profile of Sweeney by Paul Linford in the first edition of Total Politics that was launched this week. Linford writes: “…Some say he was prevented from rebelling after locking himself in the loo during the division, others that burly whip David Lightbown held his 18st frame against the toilet door...

Conservative blogger Iain Dale and Labour blogger Paul Linford agree on their reactions to a leaked report on the future of British politics, although rather predictably they put a different spin on who’s to blame. Interestingly just as there’s a growing confluence in favour among many who only have to express opinions on an English [...]
