Hack on the Labour Party Conference

28 September 2007

Hack on Gordon's Labour conference speech

The 'bounce' clearly remains very much in operation. It was a careful PMs speech, long on exhortation, generalities and clever political positioning. It was, however, short of any detail of how the desirable generalities are going to be achieved on either side of the upcoming election. Watch that space. Reaction from the great and the good is here courtesy of the BBC.

The Harriet and Gordon show

Harriet Harman won.

Her boss made a speech promising further change in education with the rate of spending on each pupil rising to comparable rates in the private sector. Knowing this, you might wonder if Harriet would have been tempted to keep her children out of private education in the leafier bits of London?

Hack on the Labour Deputy Leadership contest

UPDATE:
Paul Linford offers some analysis on the nominations for the deputy leadership and what happens now.

If you cannot see the cartoon animations, you should be able to resolve the problem by checking that you have Flash Player installed on your computer. This has been standard for most machines made in the past four years. If you are still having no luck, a download from here, ought to sort you out.

John Jensen: A parliamentary democracy

A very timely image, and particularly so, if you read this colourful piece from Tom Watson, MP for West Bromwich East, who is helping John Cruddas in the deputy leadership campaign.

Hack - Scottish Electioneering: 240407

Sometimes ongoing news stories are just a gift to a cartoonist in search of a useful image for election coverage.

Hack - It's the Miliband Kid! 030407

The never-ending will-someone (anyone) challenge Gordon Brown rumbles on. David Miliband makes a convincing milky bar kid, but I don't think he's strong and tough (or stupid) enough to have a go at running either.
