  Clive Soley | Aristotle | Guardian Unlimited Politics
Earnest, fast-talking Clive Soley, the once confident chairman of the parliamentary Labour party, has become nervous since he came within seven votes of being ousted from his post in late 2000 by challenges from more rebellious backbenchers.
In Mr Soley's case, there was resentment against his apparent eagerness to support to the Blairite top-down command structure.
As a former probation officer, he was quick off the mark in developing an agenda of his own, urging the creation of a minister for children, warning of the danger of prison riots, and opposing the jailing of prostitutes.

SOLEY: Well what he's actually said is he wants to be an inclusive leader.
SOLEY: Well, I would hope that it will be a two-way process and I would also hope, and this is the thing that I think people have got to begin to recognise, there needs to be a change in the culture of Parliament itself.
SOLEY: If the facts are as they are stated to be, and I have to say I haven't seen that immediate report, but if the facts are as stated then I think this is extremely serious and what we want to do is to be judged by how we handle it.

 Clive Soley Local MP Leaps to Beckhams' Defence
Clive Soley has consistently been a thorn in the side of major media groups.
He previously highlighted what he believes to the double standards of the News International group which, whilst at the same time as running articles highlighting sexual indiscretions of celebrities, was allegedly paying a victim of serious sexual harrassment half a million pounds to ensure their silence.
Mr Soley believed that Ms Wade was hinting that, unless he desisted from his investigation into the alleged harrassment at News International, the Sun would seek to publish revelations about members of the Labour Party.

 New Statesman - The Racing Card
Many back-bench Labour MPs are unhappy with the incumbent, Clive Soley, who voted and campaigned for a Tory as Speaker.
I make Soley odds-on for the PLP chair because the vote involves all Labour MPs, and the "payroll" vote of more than 100 MPs is guaranteed because he is the Blair candidate.
Without this, he would definitely be in trouble, and it has led many backbenchers to argue that they shouldn't be allowed to vote.

 Spy Blog: Lord Soley calls for a National DNA Database debate ?
Former "Old Labour" MP, now Lord Clive Soley of Hammersmith, has called, via his blog, for a public debate on his idea that everyone should be registered on the National DNA Database, a suggestion which he has made in a speech in the House of Lords.
Lord Soley's primary reason for promoting this idea appears to be a "Law and Order" one, rather than any possible medical benefits of mass DNA testing.
This seems to be another case of the "nothing to hide, nothing to fear" fallacy so common amongst proponents of centralised Government databases like the proposed National Identity Register.

And how can the claims of a free press be reconciled with the ever more frequent media abuses of invasion.
In this volume Tom O’Malley and Clive Soley disentangle the facts of the matter from the half truths and evasions of the bitter debate over press regulation, setting the issues in their historical context and exposing the numerous claims and counterclaims to close critical scrutiny.
Focusing on issues of principle such as accuracy, misrepresentation and privacy, they re-examine the ways in which debates over press freedom versus regulation illuminate the fundamental conflicts between a fully accountable press and the economic imperatives of a so-called free market economy.
