If today’s Indy is correct then it seems the cat may be out of the carefully concealed bag in the matter of Ruth Kelly’s real intentions for the implementation of the new Sexual Orientation Regulations: A row has broken out in the Cabinet over how far the Government […]

If you don’t know who John Band is then really are missing out on a treat. On Monday, Gideon George Osborne announced that a future Tory government would shaft the Guardian overhaul public sector recruitment by setting up a government-run central website to advertise all public sector jobs […]

Over at CiF, Frank Fisher, the Big Blogger winner knows as Pike Bishop, make a pretty decent fist of a critique of the government’s plans for roadpricing… Sir Rod Eddington’s transport report suggests road pricing is the only way to solve Britain’s gridlock crisis – an “economic no-brainer” […]
