A blog by Luke Akehurst about politics, elections, and the Labour Party - With subtitles for the Hard of Left. Just for the record: all the views expressed here are entirely personal and do not necessarily represent the positions of any organisations I am a member of.
Congratulations to my Unite/Amicus colleague Rachel Reeves, who was selected last night as parliamentary candidate for Leeds West, a Labour seat with a notional majority of over 14,000.

I did'nt know John Battle was leaving the commons. According to his voting record I disagree with his stance on many things though he did vote against the war so good on him.
By the way Luke could you give a comment on the 25th anniversary of Sabra and Shatila Massacre (which fell on Sunday).
