Catch-up service for people who have better things to do on Sunday morning than watch television, but who might have spotted part of this in The Independent's quotes of the day on Monday: Gordon Brown to Andrew Marr

Long ago I was involved in a brief campaign run by The Independent to "Save Clare Short". It was one of Andrew Marr's little amusements. It was the year before Labour was elected; she had been demoted from the transport brief to international development and Tony Blair was sufficiently irritated with her repeated crime of Being Annoying to think of ditching her altogether.

Listening to the Prime Minister Gordon Brown being interviewed on the BBC 1 TV's Andrew Marr Show, I now know. The PM acknowledges that bank boards were kept in the dark about the risks to their businesses. I have yet to to be convinced that the Labour Party's National Executive Committee Terms of Reference are fit for purpose in that regard.

Gordon Brown a Scotsman , widely described as Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury told Andrew Marr on TV this morning ... 'The first thing we're thinking about is how we as a Government can help the flow of money to businesses, how we can get the banks doing what they said they would do after the recapitalisation, and that is maintaining the level of funding for small businesses and

Gordon Brown's lament to Andrew Marr this morning that he had been "pleading with people to have an early warning system for the world economy", and not for the past 10 months, either, but for the past 10 years, was doubtless a reference to speeches like this , made a full decade ago in the House of Commons. He told MPs then: "And the new way forward for this new era is ...

Gordon Brown said on Andrew Marr today that the Conservative policy on the recession is to run its course. I have already highlighted that this repeat claim by Brown is an outright lie, and he knows it (either that or he is deluded, which some people like Guido Fawkes think). Why did Andrew Marr not say this wasn't true? Why did he not challenge Brown on it ? Click this link here to complain to the...

The Prime Minister would not be drawn into the blame game this morning; in his interview with Andrew Marr he reiterated his call for an immediate ceasefire, and said that the borders needed to be opened to allow humanitarian aid to enter. But he is well aware that with the Israeli plan perhaps days from completion neither seems likely. It is a difficult diplomatic situation for the British, especially...

So here it is, then, the Austerity Christmas. The name conjures up vague memories of coal smoke-tinted banks of snow and a Christmas pudding made from carrot peelings, suet and optimism.

Andrew Marr's programme yesterday carried some Quotes of 2008. This one, on the coming recession, was from Alistair Darling in April... I suppose one analogy you might use is, you know, you imagine that someone's eaten some bad food and they've got a dose of food poisoning. Some aspects of it just have to work their way through the system. Can someone please explain how this is any different from "letting...

Whilst watching the Andrew Marr show I was entertained by the 7 minutes roundup by Rory Bremner of 2008 politically. I have just been scouting around the BBC politics page and have found it. Its worth watching, click HERE to watch the video!

Mr Cable said on this morning’s Andrew Marr Show that the government proposals for increased charge on emergency state loans were “totally unacceptable”. The government says in future some loans could be run by credit unions, who would typically charge annual rates ranging from 12.68% to 26.8%. “The social fund is an aspect of social security in [...]

This week, Andrew Marr had among his guests Dr. Andy Miah from the University of the West of Scotland and accused him of having the coolest job title of any guest he has ever had. Miah is Fellow of Visions in Utopia and Dystopia at the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technology. Now why didn't I think of that? And why can't all job titles be this cool? I mean, is the cost any different for a business...

This movie's biggest asset is a terrific, if diminutive, hero - the most delightful since WALL-E. Despereaux Tilling is a mouse with the outsize ears and the cuddliness of Andrew Marr.

Mrs Andrew Marr praises the Home Secretary: At a time when it's fashionable to decry our politics as being unrepresentative, out of touch or even corrupt, let's stop for a moment to praise the fact that sometimes the system works. So what has Jacqui Smith done to demonstrate that she isn't unrepresentative and out of touch?: I'm referring to the decision, announced to the Guardian by the home secretary,...
