in


Thank heavens for Libby Brooks. No really. Her contribution today in the Guardian in response to The Times and subsequently the Daily Mail’s disproportionate and skewed coverage about ‘Asian gangs preying on white girl’s’, might not stop the wholesale demonisation of Asian men, but at least some may read her piece and think there is more to this than the screaming Times headline.

Oldham by election: Labour odds slashed

in

Bookmakers Ladbrokes have slashed the odds of a Labour victory at the upcoming Oldham East and Saddleworth by election.

The Labour party is the favourite to win at 2/11 while the Lib Dems are at 4/1 but could still upset Labour’s hopes for a win.

Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said: “The money from our political punters suggests Labour are set to win Oldham East. If a shock is on the cards it's more likely to come from the yellow side of the coalition."
