The latest political showdown on Mumsnet looks like delivering a points victory for Gordon Brown. Apparently David Cameron, who answered questions on a live web chat on the site today, was criticised by some posters as taking too long to answer. Brown apparently answered 30 questions in his hour on the site (could have been 31 if he'd taken the biscuit challenge) while the Tory leader managed just...

Yet more proof that the Conservatives may have tried to change their clothing but underneath they are still the same party of sleaze and racism. Over at Duncan Borrowman's blog , he has an extraordinary post from emails sent to him. Conservative Councillor Peter Hobbins complains of the campaigning inexperience of the candidates, and when referring to candidates Dilon Gurmal and Cameron Cutie Zerha...

David Cameron's response to the Queen's Speech was, of course, dictated by both convention and political nit-picking. Nonetheless, I agree with Sunder Katwala that it's rum to see a Conservative leader complaining that the government isn't proposing enough legislation . A useful reminder that whatever else they may be, Dave's Conservatives do not take an especially modest or reatrained view of government....

Speaking this morning, Byrne said he was "incredulous"...

The party condemned the government for failing to include legislation to tackle MPs' expenses and NHS reform, and Tory peer Lord Strathclyde has threatened to block the proposed bills. David Cameron, leader of the Conservative party, discusses his...

"Let us be clear about the aim of halving the deficit. Next year the deficit is forecast to be 14 per cent. When Denis Healey was Chancellor and Britain nearly went bust, it was 7 per cent. So under this Prime Minister's magnificent plan to halve the deficit, we will be back to where we were-virtually bankrupt-last time Labour wrecked our economy." Point well made.

Follow the action as the Tory leader answers questions in a live webchat at 1.45pm 1.13pm: I'm on biscuitwatch. David Cameron is about to do a live webchat on Mumsnet and, as Gordon Brown discovered recently, these encounters can be dangerous. He got pilloried for failing to answer a question about his favourite biscuit. That was unfair, because he had never been told about the biscuit question, but...

Political assassination is always an interesting thing to watch. I remembered seeing it happen to Thatcher and its effects made long lasting and deep, near fatal wounds on the conservative party. They never recovered even after Major won a general election after Thatcher's departure and it is only now, 18 years after her departure that they are beginning to look like a united party again. The...
