Downing street yesterday shot down in flames Health Minister Anne Milton’s proposal to stop free milk for under 5′s. She said it’s an outdated policy with no proven health benefits, and given the cuts each department has to make, she wanted to stop the practice to save some dosh. He, or rather his people, said, we’re not scrapping free milk, it’s an institution no no we’re not stopping it!

Gordon Brown has resigned as British Prime Minister in a statement just made in front of 10 Downing Street. In a short and dignified statement, the Prime minister said he would tender his resignation to the Queen and recommend that she invite the leader of the opposition to form the next government.

If Nick Clegg is to get his way, there will be some form of electoral reform in the UK parliamentary system. This could pave the way for more European style coalition governments in the future with either AV or PR as opposed to FPTP we are more likely to see more parliaments that work on consensus rather than along party lines. So is this a good or a bad thing?

Dave, Nick and Gordon are set to go head to head in the first ever TV debate between priministerial candidates to be aired tonight on ITV1 at 8.30pm.

It’s been a turbulent ten days for MP’s of all political persuasions as day after day the Daily Telegraph reveals more extravagance in the MP expenses debacle. Whilst PM Gordon Brown plays catch up in the game of decisive action, Conservative leader, David Cameron has been seen to be taking immediate and decisive action in relation to his MP’s telling them they face the sack if they don’t pay the money back, regardless of whether the claims were within the rules.
