    Interview: Tim Archer

    4th May 2010 | 1 comments | 2 people like this

    Tim Archer is the Conservative PPC for Poplar and Limehouse. Why did I ask him for an interview? Well, apart from the fact that Poplar and Limehouse is my constituency, it's also a very interesting seat. Over to UK Polling Report:
    Poplar and Limehouse is perhaps the most surprising seat on the Conservative target list, requiring a swing of just under 6%, the same sort of figure as more obvious targets...

    The wobbly politics of the far left

    A wobbly table appeared outside King’s college last week. Behind it was a woman and front of it was a man. The man was shouting things whilst holding a megaphone by his side. The table wobbled as he shouted, leaflets fell. Everyone walked by, bemused or unaffected. I was not one of them though, because, as usual, their sign caught my eye. “BASH THE FAR RIGHT BNP”, it suggested. It...

One council might have a housing shortage but plenty of excellent schools, another might have a deficit of overseas workers, another might have...

    There has been much talk of jobs recently. You might have noticed a funny little man bobbing up and down across your news bulletins pontificating in medieval English about “the honour bestoweth upon me”, his every sound and deed pure affectation. This is John Bercow and he is the new Speaker. He is possibly the first man in history to get a job because he was universally hated by his...

    Try not to glaze over. The MPs' expenses implosion has been death by a thousand receipts not just for the reputation of Parliament but for anybody interested in current political affairs. My brain is no longer able to compute nor care about the endless minutiae of their unintentional fraudulence, which, given the nature of the story, is the only manner in which it can be presented.
