273. Face It, The Right Are Going to Lose the Next UK General Election, Unless...

David Cameron has said he thinks schools should teach mainly in imperial measurements rather than in nasty, foreign, and undeniably French metric.Funny that. It's almost like he'd had spies at the rowdy Conservative conference fringe event the night before - staged by smokers' rights campaigner Forest and Conservatives for Liberty - where I raised this very topic in a speech on Europe. I noted the irony that even though we defeated Napoleon in 1815 and Hitler in 1945 we still seem to have inherited half their policies all the same. From Hitler, inter alia, we got the clampdown on smoking and the obsession with environmentalism. From Napoleon, among other things, we got the metric measurement system - despite the fact that most of us continue stubbornly to think in pints and miles rather than half litres and kilometres.

274. Labour's opposition to mutuals prompts them to lose control of Redcar and Cleveland Council |...

Cllr John Hannon and Cllr David Williams, of Redcar and Cleveland Council, have quit the Labour Party and now sit as independents. This means that Labour has lost overall control of the council.The cause of the dispute is a u-turn from the Labour councillors over Cleveland Fire Brigade becoming a public service mutual. Labour, at a local level, used to support the idea but has now backed down - under pressure from the Fire Brigades Union and Labour MPs.

276. Jonathan Isaby: When you discover how much the Government taxes your petrol, you'll want to support the campaign to freezefueltax.com

The Government is working to try and make the tax system more transparent. At the last Budget, George Osborne announced the introduction of annual tax statements after a successful campaign by Ipswich MP, Ben Gummer. Those statements still need some improvement: they leave out Employers’ National Insurance, for example, and that means they understate the amount people are paying in direct taxes, let alone indirect taxes. But they are a big step in the right direction.

279. Liberals’ Darling $2.2 Billion Solar Plant Suddenly Needs More of the One Thing You Would Never Expect

Solar power is supposed to replace fossil fuels, right?The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating Station concentrates sunshine, heating water and converting the steam into electricity.But lately, it hasn’t been getting enough sunshine — despite being located in the blistering Mojave Desert southwest of Las Vegas — so the plant’s operators are asking for permission to bring in more of another fuel source: natural gas.

280. Conservative Group Didn’t Take Labor Day Off. They Chose to Do Something Else on the Holiday Instead. | The Blaze

A conservative non-profit organization refused to take Labor Day off this year, instead choosing to stage a work-in as a way to protest organized labor.“We’re calling it Right-to-Work Day,” The Freedom Foundation said in a statement posted on their website. ”If you’re going to pay tribute to something, why not the freedom to keep your job even when you choose not to join a union?”

281. Petronella Wyatt: I was bullied out of Oxford for being a Tory - Telegraph

It is not just todays university students who are attacked for their views.I can’t remember a time when I didn’t dream of winning a place at Oxford University. Both my father and my elder brother had been at what I imagined was the world’s greatest seat of learning, a modern-day wine-blushed Greek symposium encouraging the dual pillars of civilisation, free thinking and tolerance.Yet, within two weeks of taking up my place at Worcester College in the late Eighties to read history, I’d packed my bags, precipitating the first scandal of my life. My father broke down and cried. Friends were baffled. The Evening Standard diary claimed I’d quit because I objected to fellow undergraduates having sex in the room next to mine. The writer A N Wilson announced waggishly that I’d departed because I was forced to drink out of chipped mugs.The truth was less droll. I ran away. Yes, ran, because I had been subject to systematic bullying and intimidation. Not on account of my rather outré name, or the fact that I came from a private school. I was persecuted for one reason only, and in this cradle of supposed enlightenment it was both bigoted and barbaric: my father, the late Woodrow Wyatt, was a high-profile adviser to Margaret Thatcher and I was a Conservative supporter.

283. Sore Balls in a squeeze | Left Watch | ConservativeHome

The Independent headlines its interview with Ed Balls today: "Lib Dems should leave the Coalition and join us". This is the best news angle that can be found from it, though the Shadow Chancellor is scarcely likely to have said: "So you're asking what I'd do if the Lib Dems quit government, betrayed Cameron, voted with us and offered to help make me Shadow Chancellor? It's obvious, isn't it: I'd tell them to get lost!" However, he is careful to make the obligatory reference to Nick Clegg having to go in any such circumstances. I think Balls's response is a means of spinning himself as more coalition-friendly - and less tribal - than his critics assert without conceding nothing of substance: if he'd said he was open to coalition after the next election that would indeed have been news.

284. Planet European Parliament, billions of miles from reality Tory MPs

The European Parliament increasingly resembles the mirror universe from Alice Through the Looking Glass. When you step through those doors it's like you enter a parallel universe completely detached from reality.Nothing summed this up better than a debate we had last week ahead of the EU's make-or-break summit next week.

285. We can't let the people decide! Mandelson warns against the 'LOTTERY' of giving voters a say on the EU

The British people must not be given a say on whether to leave the European Union because it is a ‘lottery’ which way they will vote, Lord Mandelson claimed today.The former Labour Cabinet minister said Britain’s EU membership is ‘absolutely fundamental’ and must not be put ‘in the hands’ of an unpredictable referendum.His extraordinary remarks came ahead of the first debate in the House of Lords on Tory plans to stage an in-out referendum by 2017.David Cameron’s Conservative-backed EU referendum Bill is being debated in the House of Lords today, with Labour and the Lib Dems hoping to kill it off.

287. The Treasury wants to look at 5% cuts across Whitehall

The news yesterday that the Treasury is asking all departments to draw up a contingent cut of 5% each is an interesting development. It only applies to about half of public spending, but is still a serious sum. The stated purpose is to have cuts available should the need arise to offset other increases in spending.Readers will know that I advised the government to spend around £30 billion or 5% less in the first year of this Parliament than they decided to spend. Where they put spending up by 5.3% in their first year I suggested keeping to a freeze. Thereafter I accepted their profile of percentage cash increases, though I would have preferred a slower rate of increase in Year 2 and Year 3 and a faster one in Years 4 and 5. That would have saved us at least an additional £150 billion of borrowing over the five years compared to the government’s plan. I thought if we had done this there was a chance of getting through without the need for further cuts, and with a better prospect of a private sector led recovery.

The public debate about the succession to the post of Archbishop of Canterbury brought to my mind an incident some years ago in the days of the NuLab government, when I derived some constructive amusement from my work on the Opposition back benches.As I walked up the stairs from the Members’ entrance to the House, one of the more light-heated of the bishops fell into step with me, and we exchanged greetings before he cheerily asked me: “What mischief are you up to today, Lord Tebbit?”
