Is this the man that will be giving his country a new direction come Sunday? In final opinion polls released 2 weeks before the elections, he remains the frontrunner for the Presidential elections in Ukraine – which are the first since the ‘Orange Revolution’ which dramatically rocked the nation in 2004. Viktor Yanukovych, twice Prime Minister of the nation is certainly seen as the leading candidate heading into the polls this week. While his only real challenger comes in the form of Yulia Tymoshenko, who replaced him as PM in 2007. Read More »

A pathetic attempt at trying to divide the Labour Party at a time when unity couldn’t be stronger. Across the party from Cabinet all the way to activists fighting on the doors for Labour support Gordon Brown. 2009 of course was a difficult year, but the party motivated itself to look at the bigger picture – There is a country that needs strong government, strong leadership and motivation. Labour has risen to the challenge over the past 12 years and has a vision for a fourth term. The energy across this party is not manufactured by PR, it is real – because we all believe in what Gordon Brown and Labour have to offer.
We aren’t interested in petty attempts to make yourself seem more important than you are, we’re interested in delivering Labour’s message to families across Britain. Because this election really does present a choice for Britain and everybody knows that – that’s why everybody who has an ounce of sense is united behind Gordon Brown. To suggest the party is bitterly divided and this letter is a campaign from the grassroots is rediculous. While some feel the need to damage the party everybody else is focused on moving into the General Election with a pro-active and visionary campaign.
We’re backing Brown and we will not back down from the challenge of a 4th term. Let’s Go 4th together and with confidence.

With the transition from 2009 into 2010 we say goodbye to what has been a turbulent decade, in which the world has faced new challenges. At the beginning of the new millennium it was difficult to contemplate that less than a year later the world would be faced with looming financial crisis and one of the most shocking scenes from the whole decade, September 11th, in which nearly three thousand people lost their lives and has since led to a series of events in which hundreds have been killed in conflict.
