Remember The Notswolds? There's another article on the concept, this time in the Evening Standard:The Welland Valley is part of an area often dubbed 'the Notswolds' on account of it being as beautiful as the Cotswolds, but without the price tag. Residents of this stretch of south Leicestershire and north Northamptonshire flanking the River Welland will tell you there's no comparison, though - it's more picturesque, more accessible and more affordable.As to exactly where the region is:Debate rages over exactly where the Welland Valley starts and finishes, but the stretch between Market Harborough and Harringworth represents the "heart" of this ...
Andrew Page wonders what the point of the Labour Party is. "I think it's ... fair to say that a lot of us hoped for better from Keir Starmer's Labour Party. Some - myself included - may naturally distrust their authoritarian and centralising instincts, but we expected a government that was more in touch, that was kinder and more socially responsible."

There was a lot of talk in Harrogate about the importance of "career structure" in relation to potential candidates, and that having a selection schedule would help candidates plan their moves beyond the short-term. It was also asserted, although it was never made clear to me why, that it would improve the diversity of our candidates. Now this is not exactly a new concept and I am aware that I was talking about career structures for potential candidates nearly two decades ago. But there are some hurdles that need to be overcome. Firstly, control of a selection timetable currently sits ...
Signalgate–as it is now called—will almost certainly be the first of many security breaches by this second Trump Administration. There are several reasons for this: Trump's own cavalier attitude towards secret information; the president's extreme distaste of government employees (the "deep state"); Elon Musk's purge of the civil service and the low calibre and inexperience of the people he has appointed to high office. No one expects political appointments to know all the dos and don'ts of the security business less than two months into the job. They shouldn't even necessarily know that it is highly dangerous to discuss an ...

Byline Times reports that a group of voters have joined together to file a 'groundbreaking' legal claim against Reform UK, after it allegedly failed to properly respond to their requests for what personal information the party held on them. The website says that the Good Law Project is bringing a case on behalf of the claimants after it created a tool in the lead up to the general election that allowed voters to ask political parties what information they had on them through a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) and to demand the party stop using that information: Around 1,800 ...
