John Glen's column: I'm moved and delighted by Lord Marland's generosity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have followed with interest the recent discussions about Salisbury City Council’s decision to commemorate the 800th anniversary of our city’s charter by minting medals for every child. I note that the divergence of views has even attracted some national press coverage. It seems to me that an outcome that would unite both those who feel that it is a dignified and fitting way to mark an historic moment and those who worry about placing a cost burden on a relatively small pool of city precept pay

Party Conference season is now under way, and I want to assure everyone who has written to me asking me to drop in on their favourite charity or cause that I always set aside time to visit the main hall and will speak to as many of the conference exhibitors as possible.

I am particularly anxious about how the impact of economic uncertainty will be felt in the constituency and in our hospitality sector. In addition, the discussion failed to assuage my conc

Read excerpt
The new Prime Minister Andy Burnham appeared before the House of Commons for the first time this week. His statement struck a conciliatory tone, with much talk of consensus. Regular readers of this column will know that I am all for collegiate working wherever appropriate. However, affable or not, the Parliamentary Labour Party will have to face up to some uncomfortable truths in the very near future. Leadership is knowing that some expensive policies will always go down well – but the big tax a
