Blair adds his "endorsement".

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/07/09/tony-blair-endorses-ed_n_3565449.html?utm_hp_ref=uk   Tony Blair Endorses Ed Milband's Union Funding "Crackdown"   Practically everyday another reason emerges for the TUC to dump Labour. There has always been the ability for any union member to "opt out" of the political levy. The media, press, television, Tories, Milliband and now Blair try to convince everyone otherwise."Rent a comment (or worse, speech)" Blair, can always be relied upon to promote himself under any banner, justifying and defending a military coup, lying to the Commons about WMD, acting as "peace envoy", the list is endless. Blair and "Red Ed" (what a stupid label for the media to jump onto), make a pretty couple confirming the duplicity and hypocrisy of today's Labour party.

The warped logic of Dominic Raab.

Last night (Tuesday 24th July 2012), Conservative MP Dominic Raab said there was growing concern that public sector workers were being called out on the basis of tiny turnouts in strike votes. He said there was a clear case to require unions to secure the support of 50 per cent of balloted members to make industrial action legal. Perhaps if the same logic were applied in the wider real world, this country would be spared the undemocratic insult where a government can be elected to run the country for up to 5 years when only 3 or 4 of all people voting actually vote for them. Speak up Raab and all the rest of the hypocritical morons who utter the same nonsense, how do you reconcile the obvious inconsistency in your reasoning? Dominic Raab is the Conservative MP for Esher and Walton. He entered Parliament at the 2010 general election
