Various Parliamentary Debates.

David Blunkett's anti-terrorism measures

Cutting down on financial privacy

The Prime Minister's statement in response to the WTC bombing

The Prime Minister's statement when bombing on Afghanistan started

Jack Straw's statement (very dull). There is however an interesting little speech by Francis Maude, in which he hints that he disagreed with the Torie's line on Kosovo.

Prime Minister's Questions. Obvious focus on the WTC.

And for those that think that there is anything of importance beyond this, there's the European Debate.

UKIP shame

I once said that UKIP wanted Clarke over Duncan Smith, because he will get them more members. Well the Sunday Times seems to be saying the same thing. I hate to say "I told you so". But who this Andrew Taylor bloke who claims to be a UKIP spokesman is, I don't know.

Another column calling itself, Airstrip One. I'm not connected to it, but I must say that I like the irreverent humour.

The Pro-European Tories could only get seven (count it, seven) businessmen to sign a letter to the Times. A new low?

Something old, something new.

I've started up two groups on Yahoo! recently.

Firstly there is the immigrationuk group, which is about, well, immigration in the UK. I was wary about doing this, but people who are worried about foreign policy, also tend to think about immigration. If we don't have a rational discussion on it soon, the nutters of the right will take the territory.

Secondly there is the eulaw group, which has been around for some time and is there to discuss European Union law as it pertains to the EU.
