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.
My Labourlist column this week responded to John Harris' call for abstention in the Police Commissioner elections: http://labourlist.org/2012/11/dont-listen-to-the-siren-voices-of-abstention/

The fur is really flying!
I would certainly not vote for John Prescott though as he has such poor judgement.
In 1998, he quickly popped up to defend the bombing of the Al Shifa chemical weapons plant that was soon revealed to be a pharmaceutical plant.
He was no better on Iraq. Clearly having learned absolutely nothing.
