Two Good Labour Laws
A unique blog post title for this blog. And one which will almost certainly never be reproduced.
Pretty much the only two good laws that have been passed by Labour in the last decade are in the news today.
First of all, the news that 24-hour drinking will stay. 24-hour drinking is just a good thing. All the complaints about it are exactly the same that existed beforehand. 24-hour drinking has just meant fewer fights in city centres due to different places closing at different times, and less of a need to drink lots of alcohol quickly in order to get drunk before time is called. It is just a good thing.
Secondly, the creation of legally recognised civil partnerships for gay couples, allowing Tory frontbencher Alan Duncan to be betrothed. Congratulations to him and his partner! Hopefully he won’t be the last Conservative MP [or MP of any party] to take advantage of this opportunity to have their relationship legally recognised.
So Labour have passed two good laws. What a legacy for more than a decade of government!
