Quentin Letts ran a piece in the Mail ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1037118/QUENTIN-LETTS-Rejoicing-death-Why-Left-hate-Lady-Tha tcher.html ) a couple of days ago asking the question “Why is the left so full of hate for Lady Thatcher”? It is a fair, if rather dumb, question. The answer is that she was an incredibly divisive figure who viscerally hated the Left and made it her mission to...

"Reading David Cameron’s Glasgow speech, I was struck not by how much the Tories have changed, but by how little. He delivered Tebbit’s “Get on your bike” speech, refined by PR experts. Chingford meets Notting Hill", says Health Secretary in Fabian speech . Johnson says that "We reject both the “nanny state,” which polices shopping trolleys and institutes exercise regimes and the neglectful state,...

An interesting quote from Lib Dem supporter Mike Smithson who runs the Political Betting blogsite. As a Lib Dem myself I’ve long felt that the long-term objective must be to reclaim from Labour the position as the main party of the left. It might be getting one step nearer. Might it? Well, let's cast our eyes back a couple of pages to what was posted on Political Betting here : Now, 27% is pretty...

I remember in the 1980s when John Prescott was Labour's Employment Spokesman. Every month when the unemployment figures were released, Prezza came on the television claiming the figures were a mixture of lies and fiddles. I don't know whether he came on the TV every month, or perhaps the BBC and ITV just replayed the same footage month after month - his rhetoric never changed. James Purnell, the Work...

Austin Mitchell MP said that the inquiry was needed because of the ‘prevailing desire on the part of Jersey elites to sweep scandal and abuse under the carpet to preserve their reputations’.

“Bristol MP and health minister Dawn Primarolo has spoken of her determination to target happy hours in an attempt to cut the £2.7 billion cost of drink problems to the NHS,” explains tonight’s Evening Cancer.

It is little phrases like this which make me wonder whether I missed my vocation in the media ( misspillings and all!). Why faced with a minor security breach would people wish to comment on "no stickiness of any significance". Very strange. What if it had been significant ? A real sticky situation...... Minor stickiness ? A mild pasting ...... It could go on and on.

I just wanted to wish Boris congratulations on his victory for Mayor of London. I hope he can turn his energy and excitement into something really positive as far as London is concerned. After years of near hatred, I have to say that I was also a little sad to see Ken Livingstone go (but not a lot). He actually seemed to take it quite well. I had visions of him attacking Gordon Brown, the labour party...

When I was young and on a visit to the US, I was taken to a rodeo. I watched the cowboys mount angry bulls which were then released together into the arena. A violent dance then began with the bull trying to buck the cowboy from his back and the cowboy holding on for dear life or at least for dear prize money or bravado. If the bull was successful and the cowboy came crashing to the ground, the bull...
