The catastrophes that are Cameron Hunt Lansley and Osborne have helped to redefine Labour
Shibley Rahman Blog (shibleyrahman.com) ― Labour is once again a credible opposition. The odds were very much against Labour on this in the sense that one-term oppositions are unheard of. However, it is well known that governments lose power, and oppositions rarely win them. On … (more)

Choosing a London Mayor 2012? Boris and Cameron would never talk to Rupert Murdoch like that!
Shibley Rahman Blog (shibleyrahman.com) ― One assumes that Boris Johnson would never talk to Rupert Murdoch like this?

Sue Marsh has just reminded that medicine is a wonderful profession
Shibley Rahman Blog (shibleyrahman.com) ― It is many years since I set foot in a hospital as a Doctor (in the early 2000s). The last decade however has taught me a huge amount about being a patient in the NHS, mainly from the time I … (more)

A vote for Clegg or Farage is a vote for Cameron
Shibley Rahman Blog (shibleyrahman.com) ― In a parallel universe, it would have been interesting to ask either Gordon Brown or Nick Clegg if they would ever contemplate a coalition with David Cameron. All parties of course would tell the voters that they are not canvassing … (more)

The Tories are about to have their economic credibility blown to smithereens
Shibley Rahman Blog (shibleyrahman.com) ― Whilst there is outrage amongst many voters at the privatisation of the NHS, it is still unclear whether this is a ‘deal-breaker’. Labour has done well to make the arguments, not helped by the BBC which has been attacked in … (more)

Real Liberals will be spinning in their grave: vote Labour!
Shibley Rahman Blog (shibleyrahman.com) ― Real Liberals obviously include John Maynard Keynes and William Beveridge. They do not include Nick Clegg and members of his Shadow Cabinet. They are certainly ‘in it together’. The Liberal... (more)

Some of my best friends are Liberal Democrats
Shibley Rahman Blog (shibleyrahman.com) ― Tribal politics are ugly. We’re told that the general public hates it. Like any religion, it’s probably more sensible in reaching your conclusions on the basis of the actual teachings rather than the quality of followers. That said... (more)

Labour will run into problems if it doesn’t cherish its roots
Shibley Rahman Blog (shibleyrahman.com) ― It may be sexy to be at each other’s throats, but the only people who benefit from a divided Labour are the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. I have often referred, latterly, to how Labour must find itself rejuvenated … (more)

Labour is still like a multi-national company that has failed to go “Glocal”
Shibley Rahman Blog (shibleyrahman.com) ― I was going to entitle this post along the lines that Labour is too London-centric. However, that may not be true. I have a niggling doubt over Ken Livingstone winning the London Mayor race. I can’t put my … (more)

New Labour failed in various ways, and we must learn why
Shibley Rahman Blog (shibleyrahman.com) ― As an ideological movement, New Labour did not amount to much. The problem is that Tony Blair was a good salesman for a faulty product. His understanding of economics was spectacularly limited – he saw a need to convince … (more)

My predictions in @LabourList in January 2011 bore fruit today
Shibley Rahman Blog (shibleyrahman.com) ― I think it’s good to have a ’cards on the table’ approach. On January 2nd, 2011, I wrote the following in LabourList: Is government debt like a credit card debt? David Cameron and Nick Clegg have consistently likened government... (more)

The LibDems need to go further right for political harmony to be restored

The Tories should be stopped in 2015 in their managed decline of England
Shibley Rahman Blog (shibleyrahman.com) ― We have a fixed term of parliament, whether we like it or not. The Tories and the Liberal Democrats argue that this brings stability – rather, it brings certainty about this ‘managed decline’ of England which they have relentlessly... (more)

The malign influence of the Blairites has lost momentum and respect, not before time
Shibley Rahman Blog (shibleyrahman.com) ― It is important to distinguish between New Labour and some Blairites. I have much respect for Tony Blair, having successfully won for Labour three general elections. He will be, rightly, considered with hindsight to be one of the best Prime … (more)

Falling inflation in the context of worsening credit rating is not an achievement
Shibley Rahman Blog (shibleyrahman.com) ― Falling inflation is not an achievement for the Bank of England.
