322. George Osborne's German model - thetorydiary

Tim Montgomerie: I wrote an article about George Osborne for Saturday's Times but my slot was gazumped by Tony Blair! Who does he think he is? Anyhow, my piece (£) appeared today and I hope it added a little to the weekend's fascinating FT profile of the Chancellor (summarised here).

323. Martin Callanan MEP's report from the European Parliament Tory MPs

Of course, we were supposed to be feeling "isolated". That was according to the newspapers with a federalist leaning - and especially if you listened to the BBC.We were meant to be marginalised and misled too, but above all - "isolated". That was the buzzword on every corporation newsreader's lips and every euro-mad leader-writer's spell-check.Yet isolated was about the last thing Tory MEPs were feeling as we gathered in Strasbourg for last week's plenary session. On the Monday after "Veto Friday", we felt united, hopeful, energised: all of those things; but isolated? Not that you would notice."Isolated" implies vulnerability, fear, even regret. On the contrary, Conservatives were feeling confident, invigorated and - not to put too fine a point on it - right.Inevitably, there was a backlash against us in the parliament chamber. On Tuesday, the EPP's leader Joseph Daul provocatively said the Prime Minister's veto showed we in Britain lacked "solidarity" with the rest of the EU. He said we should therefore forfeit our hard-fought rebate (or as much of it as Labour hadn't already handed back). If anyone still thinks we should never have left the EPP, please take heed.The Liberal ALDE group leader Guy Verhofstadt, a man seldom hindered by self-doubt or sense of proportion, pronounced that if the UK were not "at the dining table" as a guest, then it would end up "on the menu". Not very statesmanlike for a former prime minister, albeit of Belgium.

324. The 1% support Ed Miliband. The 99% do not. Left Watch

In this morning's Times (£):"Ed Miliband’s policy to widen Labour’s support base has got off to a disappointing start after only 500 people signed up to be registered supporters on the party’s website, far short of the 50,000 target set by the leadership."Mr Miliband is 1% of the way to his target!The Labour leader also claims to have recruited 65,000 extra members but The Times' Sam Coates also reports that "Labour had 193,961 members at the end of last year, according to accounts filed with the Electoral Commission, up from 156,205 in 2009."

326. The cradle of conservatism - Telegraph

Ahead of her Radio 4 series on the events that have shaped this country’s dominant political movement, Anne McElvoy argues that Britain’s centre-Right ideas were forged in the mills and factories of the industrial North.The conference season looms and with it, the parties’ pitch to shift the political map of Britain in their favour before the next election. Austerity has sharpened the perception of an incurable North-South divide: Tories fret about their appeal to the North and Midlands and a vanishing footprint in the great northern cities. Ed Miliband’s “One Nation” Labour still fails to ignite enthusiasm in the aspirational Home Counties.Yet one of the compelling aspects of Britain’s political history is how settled wisdoms have been disrupted over time and the political geography of the country transformed as a result. So much so that the map we see today is pretty much the inverse of an older North-South divide, in which the centres driving economic prosperity were Lancashire, Yorkshire and the clanking foundries of Manchester and the mills of Bradford.

327. Britain once had the greatest Civil Service in the world. Then along came New Labour –...

For some time I have found myself driven to the conclusion that not all the cock-ups of this Government are the responsibility of the politicians. Of course, most are. It must have been solely the decision of the Prime Minister to blame his country, that is our country, for most of the problems afflicting the world today, but I fear that the Civil Service has a hand in some of these unfortunate escapades.Sadly, I think that during the NuLab years great damage was done to the Civil Service.

328. Stephen Colbert rips Hillary Clinton as dishonest: ‘F*** it, I gotta take the gloves off’

Late-night host Stephen Colbert “took the gloves off” and went into a nearly three-minute long skit this week on Hillary Clinton’s integrity.“F*** it, I gotta take the gloves off,” the comedian told his audience Monday night. “The Late Show” host then began a series of pop-culture analogies to demonstrate the former secretary of state’s alleged dishonesty.“Secretary Clinton, you are so untrustworthy that Beyoncé is working on a concept about you,” Mr. Colbert said. “Come on. Come on, Hillary. You knew that people think you’re untrustworthy, and then you did something untrustworthy. That’s like Richard Gere going to the pet store and hovering around the gerbil aisle. You look so shady right now that FIFA wants to hire you. […] I wouldn’t trust you with Secret deodorant.”

329. Priti Patel MP: Is it time to apply the Bribery Act to Labour's relationship with the unions?...

Priti Patel is MP for Witham, and an elected Member of the Conservative Party Board, the 1922 Committee’s Executive and the Public Administration Select CommitteeThe Trades Union Congress (TUC) is meeting this week for their 2013 Congress. As usual, we will hear union leaders and delegates reel off the same old dogmatic speeches demanding more public spending, higher taxes and an end to austerity. Their agenda and list of motions for debate offer nothing original. Sounding like a 50 year old broken record, Unite is demanding “mass industrial action to oppose the cuts”, the PCS wants “a co-ordinated programme of industrial action and civil disobedience”, and the RMT are pushing for a “general strike.” The fantasy of millions of workers refusing to work and losing money is an addiction that some just cannot kick.

330. Boris Johnson calls for illegal immigrants amnesty - Telegraph

London mayor Boris Johnson has called for an amnesty for illegal immigrants.Mr Johnson estimated there are around 700,000 illegal immigrants in the country, with 400,000 of them in the capital.He said there is no prospect of them being removed and wants those who have been here for more than five years and can demonstrate a commitment to the country to be "regularised".The comments will infuriate David Cameron, as the Conservatives are opposed to an amnesty. A position they share with the Home Office.Mr Johnson angered the Tory leadership when he made a similar proposal during the mayoral election campaign earlier this year and the party was quick to distance itself from the latest comments.Amnesties in European countries have resulted in attracting more illegal immigrants who think they will be allowed to stay when the next amnesty is announced.

331. A recession made in Downing Street – Telegraph Blogs

Ed Miliband is right. This is indeed a recession made in Downing Street. It was manufactured painstakingly over a decade, first in Number Eleven and then in Number Ten, by Gordon Brown. The lugubrious Fifer inherited a Chancellor's dream scenario: falling expenditure, rising revenues, strong growth and low inflation. For two years, as promised in Labour's 1997 manifesto, he stuck to Conservative spending plans, and debt was paid off. Then, purposefully and methodically, he started blowing everything away.

332. You chateau-bottled, nuclear-powered shit: Tory grandee Soames launches astonishing tea room broadside on EU Referendum rebel Afriyie

Tory grandee Nicholas Soames last night refused to apologise for launching a four-letter tirade of abuse at rebel Conservative MP Adam Afriyie in the Commons Tea Room.Shocked fellow MPs looked on as Mr Soames, grandson of wartime leader Winston Churchill, tore into Windsor MP Mr Afriyie over his plan to force David Cameron to hold a referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU before the next Election.Mr Soames told Eurosceptic Mr Afriyie: ‘You are a chateau bottled nuclear powered shit. You are totally fucking disloyal, a fucking disgrace to your party, your fellow MPs, your Prime Minister and your country.’Mr Afriyie hit back: ‘If you want to have a serious discussion, Nicholas, then I am prepared to do so. But this is not the way to go about it.’Tory whip Amber Rudd tried to stop the row last Tuesday afternoon, saying: ‘This is not doing any good for anyone.’But Mr Soames refused to be silenced and told Mr Afriyie: ‘This is nothing more than a grotesque fucking vanity project to promote your absurd fucking campaign to become party leader. You aren’t up to it, man!’The clash between pro-European Old Etonian Mr Soames and Mr Afriyie, brought up by a single mother on a council estate in South London, shocked onlookers.

334. Labour supporters turn on Livingstone | Local Government

Over the past week scarcely a day has gone by without an impassioned attack on Ken Livingstone by a Labour supporter. Nick Cohen in The Observer writes:I will vote for Labour assembly members, then Green, Lib Dem or something equally silly for mayor, and offer no second preference. If Johnson wins by one vote, I'll say that was Labour's fault for putting forward Livingstone, not mine. We own the politicians. They don't own us.Cohen feels that Livingstone "is a hypocrite worthy of the pen of a Swift or Dickens." Livingstone "is now the champion of the suffering 99% and enemy of the despised 1%."

336. Andrew Lilico: How significant a player could a CANZUK Federation be?

I have written previously that I believe the key question for the UK with reference to the EU is not "Should we leave or not?" - regardless of the benefits the arrangement has provided to us so far, we will shortly have no realistic option but to leave. Neither is it "After we leave, should we have a Swiss-type, a Norwegian-type, or a Turkish-type agreement with the EU?" - obviously there will be some kind of trade agreement struck with our former EU partners, but that won't even make page 5 of the newspapers (just as when we make new trade agreements with India or South Africa, that doesn't make the front pages, either).No, the key question isn't about our relationship with the EU at all. It's about what we should do instead. I've previously reviewed a number of the options and argued that the most plausible deep relationship post-EU would be with Canada and Australia, to which we can add New Zealand. Such a combination is often referred to by the acronym "CANZUK".
