This week sees the final episode of The House of Comments podcast, in which we chat with Labour blogger Antony Painter, and Mark Wallace of Crash Bang Wallace about recent events in UK politics. We chatted about: Matthew Elliot, CEO of the TaxPayers Alliance, will be running the anti-AV campaign for the forthcoming referendum on changing the voting system. We discussed the different approaches of the pro- and anti-AV campaigns and which is currently in the strongest position. We also asked whether it is, as some have suggested, 'unfair' that Matthew Elliot also owns the internet domain name 'yes2av.org'. The Coalition has received much criticism from members of the Labour party for their recent announcement that the new 'NHS111' non-emergency telephone service will eventually replace NHS Direct. Is the 'Save NHS Direct' petition a great example of social media campaigning from John Prescott, or merely 'bandwagon jumping' and 'crying wolf'? Tony Blair's memoirs will be published in Uploaded 2 years ago -  |  |
