I mention this because earlier this evening I received, from an unnamed source (I wish I could say whom), a poll conducted by Kindle Research. Established in 2005 by Paul Hutchings. At no point, ...

For a National Living Wage Unit. May 18, 2010 · Filed under Brighton.

May 9, 2010 · Filed under Brighton. This is an historic first for the Greens. These are uncharted waters made even more complicated by the fact that we have a hung Parliament. However, Caroline is used to firsts and will have no trouble getting to grips with the intricacies of Westminster politics. But, and this is perhaps the most important thing of all, despite the squeeze felt in London and elsewhere, the Greens have momentum. So, how can this come to be? Where can the Greens possibly take seats?

Caroline Lucas: Our First Green MP. May 8, 2010 · Filed under Brighton. Sorry for my lack of posting anything for nearly a month.

All That Is Solid . Look what A Very Public Sociologist melted into. Tuesday, 19 May 2015. If David Miliband Had Won . The polls were with Labour. The feedback on the doorstep was very encouraging. It looked like all the naysayers and the problems of the previous five years had been put to bed. Until that. Be subject to a review after the election. This stoked up a row with the big trade unions, leading to an unseemly war of words in the pages of The Guardian. This, however, was overshadowed by two event...
