What does Labour have to do to lose a seat like Rotherham? The previous MP, Denis MacShane, resigned after obtaining public money by deceit – a far worse case of malfeasance than many which attracted heavier opprobrium during the expenses revelations. The candidate chosen to select him, Sarah Champion, was imposed by the NEC, prompting [...]

The tragedy is that it will come too late. By the time UKIP and the Conservatives accept Britain’s electoral logic, the damage will have been done. It is now likelier than not that the Conservatives will offer an In/Out referendum. The danger is that my party will do so ambiguously, tardily or unconvincingly. Too unconvincingly, [...]
Dear Mr Carney, I'm delighted that you're taking over as Governor of the Bank of England. Although some newspapers are describing you as the first foreign governor, very few British people think of Canadians as properly foreign. William III, who founded the Bank, was technically foreign but was, on most measures, one of our greatest [...]
David Cameron will have enjoyed this morning's coverage of the Brussels summit. Our newspapers are taking a straightforward British-PM-holds-out-against-grasping-Eurocrats line and, while Continental papers are less complimentary, their online readers' comments, especially in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands, are overwhelmingly pro-British. The PM has had a successful summit. It's true that he held the highest [...]
Is Britain on its bike? There’s nothing like jumping in at the deep end. This week saw me head down to Strasbourg for my first outing as the newly elected Chair of the EU Committee of the British Chamber*. A mere two weeks after getting the job, I’m hosting the annual flagship event. The team [...]
It goes without saying that David Cameron should – and almost certainly will – reject any proposal to increase the EU budget or dilute what’s left of our rebate. Not that he needs my help, but here are a couple of points he might make to his fellow heads of government: We remain the second [...]
As everybody in the “Brussels bubble” knows, in about one and half years, the European Commission’s term will expire and a new set of Commissioners will come to town. One might assume that given this relatively short time frame and the slow pace of decision making in Brussels, the current Commission will wrap up current [...]
It is reported that David Cameron's big EU referendum speech, postponed from the October Conference, will be delivered shortly. Drafts, we are told, are already circulating in Whitehall. I haven't been asked for a submission but, since the PM tells me he reads this blog regularly, perhaps he won't mind if I use it to [...]
Unsustainable Confusion The reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) brings up some very strange debates. One debate that gets a lot of people excited is about fish ecolabels. There are a lot of ecolabels out there, many of which say that fish is “sustainable”, but not many people seem to know what that means. Sometimes I’m [...]
Corby and East Northamptonshire, like many swing seats, is demographically typical. On most metrics – age, income, blend of urban and rural – it is not far off the national average. In one way, it is unusually representative of the United Kingdom as a whole: its steel plant was manned largely by Scots – a [...]
As we set in for the winter months here are some waste residues that can be burned without subsidy or fear of eating up someone else’s much loved feedstock. 5 years ago: we heralded the arrival of the blogactiv platform from Euractiv and asked whether it was the future of the EU blogosphere? According to [...]
As you might have gathered from the title, I was inspired by recent US elections. Obama’s re-election marks the third president in a row to have won a second term; the last not to? George H. W. Bush in 1992 when Bill Clinton’s campaign famously highlighted, “It’s the economy, stupid.” By not grasping the importance [...]
