It’s been seven months since the May general election, I haven’t seen ex PM Gordon Brown, since. Over the past few weeks I’ve been wondering whether he’s found somewhere completely off the planet to be, because, unless I’ve missed something, there’s been no comment from him on any subject whatsoever. It may just be that he’s been spending time his family, taking a well earned break after 14 years in frontline politics, but is that all to change?

Labour party members voted for Ed over David in the race for the Labour Leadership winning 50.65% to 49.35%.

So in one day, British Foreign Secretary Mr William Hague has had to deny rumours that he has relationships with other men, had his aid Christopher Myers, quit over the rumours and allegations that they were having it off , and has issued a personal statement detailing very personal and painful details of his wife’s miscarriages, in order to fend of speculation that he is gay and their marriage is in trouble.

Diane Abbott has become the first female to run for leader of the Labour Party in the upcoming leadership election. Ms Abbott MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington is running (surprisingly) on a platform talking about the sensitive issue of immigration.

Ed’s finally declared he’s gonna run for leader of the Labour party. Declaring he is to stand, Balls said “I’m going to put my name in for the Labour party leadership. I think it’s really important we don’t just talk to ourselves, we’ve got to hear what the country’s got to say.”
