Ed Miliband: I don’t agree with Nick
The former climate change secretary on why New Labour must be consigned to the past, why he is the person to lead the left’s revival – and why he’ll never say anything bad about his brother Party leadership races are generally much less interesting than pundits tend to hope. In the current contest, everyone always knew David Miliband would run – and everyone knows by now that three of his challengers are very unlikely to beat him. Thus it fell to Ed Miliband to provide the excitement. The young pretender is certainly a sexier part to play than the dauphin, but when I heard Ed Miliband speak back in late May, he seemed so manifestly awkward about fighting his older brother that it was hard to see how the contest was going to work. Remarkably, the pair’s pledge to say nothing bad about one another has been maintained, disappointing Fleet Street’s hopes of a family catfight.

An ABC of Lib Dem Hypocrisy
A is for Advisers ‘Special advisers will not be paid for by the taxpayer’ (2009) A Better Politics for Less – Nick Clegg is charging the taxpayer £305,000 for special advisers just for his own department. Details at Cabinet Office B is for Better Politics, while we are on the subject as Nick Clegg made a lot of self righteous speeches about how Lib Dems were so much better than other parties on expenses claims. David Laws has gone but what about his successor Danny Alexander and the first/second homes let’s not pay any capital gains tax issue – what Nick Clegg called the ‘biggest abuse’ of the expenses scandals?

Reception with Jack and Jenny
Last night I attended the Chairman’s reception for the Ships Company of HMS Cornwall. Two Bus loads of the Senior Service were shipped over to County Hall for a few drinks and nibbles. (Jack and Jenny is the nickname of male and female sailors) What struck me when looking at the Ships Company all dressed in Square Rig was the amount of Campaign Medals that they were wearing. It was not just the old sea dog that had a chest full, but those in their late teens early 20′s that were wearing them

Politics Show
Yesterday, took part in a Q & A at the Duchy College, Stoke Climsland for the Politics Show on bovine tb and badger culling. It is challenging to face people with a passion for their cause, lots of experience and research at their fingertips, all in front of cameras and broadcast live. I really felt for the farmer, talking of watching cows being slaughtered in front of her but I couldn’t agree with her about the best way to try and combat this awful disease. Labour does not support further culls, not just because of the issue of how we deal with wildlife but because, after ten years of trials, it has been shown to make little impact on bovine TB.

View of an Independent
After last weeks televised debate it seems that this Election has kicked off, or has it? For those who are more politically minded or interested in this subject it has. From the various Social Media outlets I read and follow in cyberspace everything in this Election has changed. But, if you talk to the “man in the street” they hardly mention the debate

Why I want the job of being your MP
As Parliament was dissolved yesterday, people paid tribute to Matthew Taylor, who was the MP for Truro and St Austell for 23 years. When Matthew Taylor announced in 2007 he was standing down at the end of this Parliament, he said that the biggest thing he had achieved as an MP was the A30 Goss Moor by pass. If I can do one thing as your future MP, it will be to bring together the investment that is needed for the dredging and development of Falmouth docks to make Falmouth’s economy more sustainable, lifting

Can you tell the difference?
Talk about dragging out the Election right to the bitter end. I am getting the feeling that people are getting a little jaded over if and when someone is going to drive up the Mall and ask to call an Election. People are saying lets get on with it.

Facing the music – yes. Pantomime politics – no.
This week the Cornwall media pre-elections debate kicked off. I’m a player not a referee, but I’ve decided to blow the whistle and call for an end to pantomime politics – it’s what people in Cornwall are telling me they want from our politicians.

Cornwall’s Tories : community asset stripping
Following my questions to the Council about the office transformation plan, Council Leader Alec Robertson wrote a letter to local newspapers saying they own over 4,000 properties, and suggesting that disposing of 48 of these is really not that significant. I don’t agree, but I do think that if he wants to communicate directly, openly,
