Guido reports that "The Indy this morning has an interview with Andrew Marr, this passage made Guido laugh: "I can be exceedingly aggressive when I want to be," he says, claiming that encounters with Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling on his Sunday morning BBC1 programme, The Andrew Marr Show, "were as aggressive as any interview you will have seen for a long time"." I felt compelled to comment on Guido's...

The Indy this morning has an interview with Andrew Marr, this passage made Guido laugh: "I can be exceedingly aggressive when I want to be," he says, claiming that encounters with Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling on his Sunday morning BBC1 programme, The Andrew Marr Show, "were as aggressive as any interview you will have seen for a long time". Yes we all remember that aggression when a nervous Gordon...

So sayeth the Hon Jaqueline Ashley , daughter of an MP and life peer (Rosebery Grammar, Epsom - state selective at the time - now admission via postode - not exactly ASBO Comprehensive), wife to Andrew Marr (Loretto, private). Let's take a look at the Gordon Brown (Kirkcaldy High - state Scottish) cabinet . Gordo himself had a highly selective and academic state education and was at Uni when he was...

Though Andrew Marr has spent much of his weekend hot-air-ballooning above the Glastonbury music festival and is about to devote an afternoon to pootling around in a "beyond valuable" 1906 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, he is distinctly troubled.

Apparently on the Andrew Marr show today: "Lord Darzi said no practices would be forced to shut due to the 150 new centres which will house doctors alongside other medical staff." Not according to Pulse : "Nearly 40 GP surgeries are set to close in just one PCT in a dramatic illustration of the effect on local general practice of the drive to introduce a network of polyclinics. "Patients in Haringey,...

George Osborne came out with what will be another popular policy on the Andrew Marr show this morning. The idea of stabilising fuel prices by cutting the duty on fuel when the price of oil goes up, and increasing it when the price goes down is just the kind of policy we Tories need. It goes without saying that both Labour and the Lib Dems think Osborne's idea is rubbish (until they steal it). However,...

Lord Darzi is always hailed as some great health guru. He's not. I watched this interview this morning and he's just another lying, deluded Nulabour stooge.

I like him and usually watch his Sunday show and listen to his Start the Week broadcast, but I am getting increasingly annoyed by his appearing intellectualism. While he is very bland as a political interviewer he is trying to compensate this is by his interest in almost everything. I think he is sitting on the fence and should make his mind up. I concede that history is a bit of of his pet since he...

The mysteriously trousered Andrew Marr. Photograph: Murdo MacleodThis week, there was an awful lot of excitement on the television - and in the nation in general - when a British person did quite well at tennis. I like to think...

The BBC today, has announced that they're to air a season of "landmark content" to mark "one of the most astonishing and influential scientific ideas ever conceived." Big booming stuff eh? David Attenborough , Andrew Marr and Jimmy Doherty are just some of the well-known names who will be helping the BBC and the nation to mark the life and work of...

Ken Livingstone here on the Andrew Marr Show . As Tom Miller says what's to disagree with here ? There's not a London by-election on the cards somewhere is there? Perhaps a front bench Tory in a close run seat would like to resign on some supposed principle or other? LoL site feed

I note that Professor Michael Schmidt offered Gordon some cheer a cople of days ago and that Ken Livingstone was kind to his old enemy this morning on the Andrew marr show: just keep on taking the right decisions, he chirped, and people will eventually come round to see you are the person they need. Never someone to sell himself short, Ken seemed to be suggesting this was what he had done as mayor,...

Watching Archbishop John Sentamu on Andrew Marr this morning reminded me again of a question. Why isn't he or someone of similar stature Archbishop of Canterbury? Here is a man of great intellect and morality who speaks not only for the Church of England, but for Britain as a whole. Archbishop Rowan Williams is so heavenly minded, he is of no earthly use. When the church needs leadership he is sorely...

On Andrew Marr’s show this morning, former Mayor of London (a title which definitely suits him) Ken Livingstone said he regretted putting the congestion charge call centre in Coventry rather than Croydon, because people in Croydon would have had a better idea of where things were in London. He has a point, though I doubt that [...]
