After a stint of local election campaigning today, I'll be covering the Liberal Democrat local election results in the next edition of Liberal Democrat Newswire.
The latest antisemitism row to engulf Labour concerns Jeremy Corbyn's foreword to to a modern edition of the writer J A Hobson's Imperialism: A Study, written in 1901. This is dividing Mr Corbyn's critics and supporters in a familiar way. But its wider significance is what it reveals about the way Mr Corbyn, and many ...

Second paragraph of third chapter: Whole truckloads of cargo disappear from the piers without a trace. Hijackers take their toll from shipments en route to and from the piers. Casual pilferage by individual thieves, awaiting only opportunity, sends the loss totals higher, but this form of theft is negligible compared with the highly organized stealing by the gangs. And here again the key to the business is thorough control of the union labor by the mobsters in power on the piers. They dictate the hiring of union members and see to it that the "right men" get the important jobs. ...

I am about to head off to help with the get-out-the-vote operation in Dunston Hill, Pelaw and Heworth, Birtley and Lobley Hill and Bensham. Yes, today is polling day. But first, breakfast - a bacon buttie in Whickham.
As voters in England go to the polls, Labour supporters must be wondering what exactly they have to do to rid themselves of the anti-Semitism controversy that has engulfed their party. Many of them will be asking why it is that the Labour leadership keep shooting themselves in the foot on this issue. The Guardian reports that jewish leaders have written to Jeremy Corbyn to express "grave concern" and demand an explanation after it emerged he wrote a glowing foreword for a century-old political tract that includes anti-Semitic tropes: The book, Imperialism: A Study, written by John Atkinson Hobson in ...
I, more than 99 percent of people in the UK at the very least, desperately wanted The Independent Group to succeed. I have written for a very long time about how I thought the Lib Dems had blown it and how we needed a new centrist force in British politics. When Chuka and co left [...] The post Why Change UK is sleepwalking into a disaster appeared first on Radix.

As this post goes live, indefatigable Liberal Democrats the length of England will have been up for hours delivering last minute leaflets in the local elections. They have a tough day of more leafletting and knocking up (which is nowhere near as exciting as it sounds) ahead of them. One of the best smells in the world is the breakfast roll cooking when you come in from your good morning leaflets. But after that, there's still a good 12 hours of work left. And usually after the local elections, you can put your feet up for a week or so. ...
There are local elections being held across much of England today. You have until 10pm to vote. Good luck to everyone taking part in democracy today. A little extra good wishes to fellow Liberal Democrats of course, but the horrors of the election campaign are a reminder to believers in democracy how much we have in common in addition to our passionate differences. Voting in person Polling stations are open between 7am and 10pm today. You don't need your polling card to vote (unless you are in one of the three areas listed below). In several areas new rules are ...
