Who’s going to lose the next election in the UK? It’s a race!

In order to overcome an 11-point Liberal Democrat lead among those “certain” to vote in last week’s Independent Harris Opinion Poll, Mr Woolas needs to win over the one in five Liberal Democratic voters who said they would vote Labour in a general election, by persuading them the Tories are out of the race.
A straw poll outside the Lo-Cost food store in Littleborough yesterday suggested that message was not getting through. The voters of Littleborough and Saddleworth go to the polls today in the closest fought by-election in this Parliament, as Labour’s Phil Woolas launches his final bid to overhaul the Liberal Democrat front-runner, Chris Davies. But in spite of Mr Woolas’s claim that “undecided voters are coming to us” there was little evidence of an electoral earthquake on the streets of the constituency yesterday. Their poll rating is 59 per cent, up three from last month, while the Tories down three on 26 per cent.Another view, page 16Labour and women, page 17. I’ve always made it clear this is a process of change.”n Labour’s opinion poll lead has not been damaged by John Major’s leadership victory, according to a MORI poll for the Times today Labour has a lead of 33 points over the Tories.

She added: “Any suggestion that I concealed any part of my political record from party members is utterly false. She insisted the charges against her were “totally unfounded and mischievous”.

The move – the first of its kind since the party halted the candidacy of Sharon Atkins in Nottingham East in 1987 – overshadowed the more far reaching decision to reduce the trade union block vote at party conferences to 50 per cent from 70.
The reduction in the block vote, which will now be approved at this year’s conference, a year earlier than expected, was further reinforced yesterday when Tony Blair, the Labour leader, reported to the executive that he had already reached “broad agreement” for reform of the present system of union sponsorship of MPs.The NEC’s disputes committee will now hear Ms Davies’ defence against two complaints: that she failed to tell the local party that she had been sentenced to prison for failing to pay her poll tax; and that she had indicated she would not necessarily abide by the party whip on all occasions.Ms Davies yesterday promised to co-operate with the inquiry and said she was “confident of being endorsed by the NEC”. The Labour Party national executive agreed yesterday to withhold endorsement of Liz Davies, the left-winger adopted as parliamentary candidate in Leeds North East, and to summon her before its disputes committee to answer complaints about her eligibility.

We gave him particular instances.”The archbishop told the Chancellor that since the introduction of independent taxation for a husband and wife in 1991, married couples with a single income – households where the wife was likely to stay at home to look after children – had seen their tax allowances fall, while those for unmarried couples had gone up. We say how do you transfer that into policies? It made it very difficult for some people contemplating marriage to face the tax disadvantages marriage can bring. With the backing of senior Tory MPs, the archbishop called on the Chancellor in his next Budget to reverse the cut in the married couples’ allowance from 20 per cent to 15 per cent.After the meeting, Dr Habgood said: “The Chancellor said he wanted to build up the institution of marriage.

The Archbishop of York last night warned the Chancellor that higher taxes on married couples were discouraging people from getting married.As building society figures showed a rise in housing repossessions, the Rt Rev John Habgood told Kenneth Clarke that government policies were undermining the institution of marriage, in spite of Tory claims to be the party of the family.At a meeting at the Treasury, the archbishop presented figures showing that, because of cuts in the married couples’ allowance, a married couple with children depending on a single income would be paying pounds 42 more in tax than five years ago but cohabiting couples who were unmarried were paying pounds 260 a year less tax.
