So today on BBC Parliament we have live coverage of the Labour Party Conference, complete and unedited.

Today the FIA have released details of why they came to the decision to fine McLaren a record $100M in the Ferrari spy scandal. I did wonder yesterday if McLaren might appeal but seeing the evidence I don’t think they should bother and think themselves lucky that they weren’t kicked out for 2007 & 08. …

The big question though is just what should they buy the man who pretty much has everything he wants at a price people are willing to pay? Well how about the officially licensed WilliamsF1 beanbag? …
The organising body of Formula One have offered this service for a while but I have only just got round to bloging about it. During all F1 sessions including the race live timing is available in exactly the same format as is available to the teams. This means that even when the Williams are not …
For some time now I have worried about the way terrorism has become the latest way to keep the public in check by creating a state of fear and uncertainty. However, a mate of mine has written a blog that puts it all back into perspective and injects a bit of much needed humour. Check …
