		<description><![CDATA[John Hutton will not be bribed in this way and in inviting him to undertake the work, both Cameron and Osborne know that whether they like it or not, his report will be honest and he will be outspoken. Yes, using a former Labour Minister is a purely “political move” because by appointing a fiercely independent man such as Hutton, if the conclusions were considered “unfavourable” by public sector workers, then at least the Government cannot be accused of “being the Nasty Tory Party” trying to sneak through changes they intended anyway.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Independent in its infinite wisdom has decided to change the way it deals with readers comments on articles, a move designed to increase boredom and decrease any valid &#8216;debate&#8217;. I have lived through this before; It was contributing to the Telegraph that first led me to set up this blog back in November 2007 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With a new Parliament gathering, there is the opportunity to elect a new Speaker. In my opinion, Bercow has not demonstrated the type of energetic leadership that was required after Martin stepped down and set against the background of the &#8220;Expenses Scandal&#8221; so, he needs to be replaced and likely by someone with a bit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I voted Tory, being the West Country, our sitting Tory MP of the past 27 years lost his seat to a LibDem by just 800 votes, I may be sorry that he lost but do I feel that my vote was 'wasted' ? Of course not, it was one constituency battle amid 649 others and we will get another chance within the year as we all know.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a rather good article by Matthew Parris in today&#8217;s Times called: “Cameron’s hand is strong and he’ll play it well” worth a read although some of the readers comments are very odd as the Times practises quite annal censorship of those so, who knows http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/matthew_parris/article7120060.ece The Independents lead Editorial was rather pathetic: “A [...]]]></description>
