What we're talking about

Briefing: Labour MPs split

Lee Whitehill

18 Feb 2019 - 12:43

So, it’s finally happened: after months of speculation, Labour’s outspoken centrist MPs have left the party, saying that the Labour leadership no longer shares their values. The MPs will sit in the House of Commons as The Independent Group and a website and social media channels were up and running by the time the seven […]

Who holds the key to a second referendum?

The dynamics of whether or not the Prime Minister will get her deal through Parliament has meant all eyes have been on rebels, both leave and remain, in her own party. However, what Labour decides to do may end up having a greater significance than events on the Conservative benches. Following months of what has […]

Today has been one of the most tumultuous days for the Government since it triggered Article 50 and began the process of leaving the European Union. At the time of writing, seven Ministers have tendered their resignations in protest at the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement. These include Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab and Work & […]

Do Marches Matter?

Comparisons have been drawn between the 700,000 strong Peoples Vote march on Saturday and the 1,000,000 who turned out to protest against the war in Iraq in 2003. The numbers for both events are obviously huge but the question is do demonstrations of this sort actually achieve anything? After all, the war in Iraq went […]

Conservative Party Conference: Successful, but forgettable

Carl Thomson

4 Oct 2018 - 18:20

This time last year I wrote that there were five take away points from the 2017 Conservative Party Conference. These were that the party needed to develop a more compelling policy offer beyond Brexit; that politics was becoming more polarised; that the next generation of MPs was becoming more assertive; that the organisers needed to […]

Labour Conference: Corbyn sets out red lines

Lee Whitehill

27 Sep 2018 - 14:54

At the start of Labour conference we suggested three areas where Labour was facing maximum danger – its internal democracy review, Europe and a peoples’ vote, and on the potential for the fringe to produce some unsavoury gaffs. So how did they fare? In terms of the democracy review – check. The unions sideswiped Momentum […]

Labour Conference: The grassroots are in control

Lee Whitehill

21 Sep 2018 - 13:51

This time last year Labour went into its annual conference buoyed by a better than expected general election result and Jeremy Corbyn’s rapturous reception at Glastonbury. 12 months later, after a contentious summer of internal wrangling, a failure to deal effectively with anti-Semitism allegations and a continued onslaught from Fleet Street, conference will be a […]

19 Sep 2018 - 15:52

As the Liberal Democrats gather in Brighton for their annual conference this week, people are asking: what’s the point? The third force in British politics appears to have been reduced to a group of angry bystanders. After losing 49 of their 57 MPs at the 2015 General Election, Brexit should have been a turning point […]

Could next week, 12th June to be precise, signal the beginning of the end for Theresa May’s leadership of the Conservative Party? Will she succeed in reversing the amendments to the EU (Withdrawal) Bill made by the House of Lords; will she be forced to concede some of the amendments in order to overturn others, […]
