How popular is the Shadow Cabinet?
October 23, 2015
Labour List regularly runs a poll to find out how Labour supporters rank their own Shadow Cabinet’s effectiveness. The latest results show that a relatively new and unknown Shadow Cabinet is already as popular as Ed Miliband’s last, ill fated, shadow team. While not as popular as the former Shadow Cabinet was just before the […]
You can’t take politics out of charity communications
March 27, 2013
The PRCA’s charity group recently debated the pros and cons of a ‘political’ approach to charity communications. But in the charity world, there can be no such thing as an apolitical campaign.

Until Paul Lucas pointed out that there might be more to this than meets the eye. Mary’s role, according to Number Ten, is to: Advise on how Government, businesses […]
Labour’s tepid election
May 15, 2011
If the Lib Dems election PR disaster was fairly comprehensive, Labour’s was worse. Tepid has been used to describe the party’s performance, but if you include Scotland in the mix, that is being kind. The biggest challenge to the communications strategy in Scotland was an increasing trend to create a ‘presidential’ battle between Iain Gray […]
