		<title>We&#8217;re back.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s pre-launch still, but someone may have noticed that we stopped blogging a while back.
This is obviously because everything has been going so smoothly for the coalition&#8230; *cough*
We missed the Budget (which was better than expected), and Gove&#8217;s schools fiasco (which is actually still going on &#8211; see Thomas&#8217; article below). We also missed the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Building Schools for the Future – Its flaws and how the coalition should respond.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite claims to the contrary from the Labour party,  it is simply not true that the scrapping of Building Schools for the future was a breaking of a promise made by George Osborne not to cut the totals of capital spending. A casual glance towards the actual budget would make it clear: the Government [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cabinet Trivia. Shortest stint in history?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, David Laws appears to have been a member of the Cabinet for 18 days.
But whose was the shortest stint? There&#8217;s a lot of history to sift through, but Twitter has come to my aid.
Fox Maule was President of the Board of Control for 16 days in 1852 (5th to 21st February)
Thomas Milner Gibson was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oh Laws, why have you forsaken us?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It turns out David Laws has resigned, being replaced by Danny Alexander.
I very much hope he returns. He was able and competent, and possibly the only outwardly libertarian Cabinet member.
I have no opinion of Mr Alexander as yet, but I very much hope he rises to the occasion. He&#8217;s got some massive figurative shoes to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oh Laws! Keep Calm and Carry On.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, it turns out David Laws may have had some expenses complications. It also turns out he&#8217;s gay. Frankly, I don&#8217;t care.
The man is able, competent, and should remain as Chief Secretary to the Treasury. His private life is none of my business, and it has no bearing on his suitability for the job. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lib Dem Deputy Leadership</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Vince Cable has resigned as deputy leader of the parliamentary Lib Dems to concentrate on his cabinet role. &#8220;So what?&#8221; I hear you cry. Well, the Deputy Leader of the party, whoever it turns out to be, will have a crucial effect on the coalition and its running. If we elect a bullish anti-Tory that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Axing the Future Jobs Fund.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Future Jobs fund was broadly speaking a gimmick, and it has been condemned by a number of organisations that work with young people, including Rathbone. It ‘churns’ the NEET numbers rather than reducing them, and gets them trapped even more in a “low pay, no pay” cycle, which goes on into their 30’s. At [...]]]></description>

		<title>Laws: the New Gladstone?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you see it? No, of course you didn&#8217;t, because you&#8217;re not a geek like me, but David Laws&#8217; defence yesterday of the £6bn cuts this year was masterful.
One Conservative MP was relieved to see the return of Gladstonian liberalism to the treasury. Laws accepted the compliment and then added that he hoped to bring [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is the Labour Party thinking seriously about becoming the BNP-lite?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is the Labour Party thinking seriously about becoming the BNP-lite? No, probably not, but the leadership candidates are still floundering around trying to outmanoeuvre each other on how badly Labour made mistakes on immigration, although still missing out the fact that most people are angry over how they were misled, rather than it all being [...]]]></description>
