Superb article which exposes the Labour hypocrisy on university funding and the strength of the government's proposals

A very frank write-up by Ian Eoliart of his recent stroke. A useful account of the symptoms for us all. Best wishes to Ian for a good recovery.

Stuning piece - all the more stunning when you consider how quickly it was posted after the news broke of Miliband's graduate costs proposal.

A very thought-provoking and enlightening post from Spidey, which links to an equally informative and moving post.

A very thoughtful and powerful post from James Taylor.

Superb summary of the ridiculous furore over the clumsy Clarke interview on rape.

Excellent commentary on the economic situation

Absolutely superb post from Mark Valladares. The contradictions in Conservative health policy are so childishly obvious once Mark illuminates them. And he points to a potential sterling crisis if the Tories cannot finally get their act together on fiscal discipline.

"...this morning we had Alastair Campbell sort of breaking down on Andrew Marr. It was a complete act. It was a sort of pram-rattle ejection moment. ...Campbell didn’t have to come onto Sunday AM and he was selling a novel, so if he got pushed on Iraq, it’s his own stupid fault."

"On Monday I saw, for the first time, the Bishops in action in the House of Lords. I had the vague impression that they were, unknowingly, sort of measuring themselves up for their own parliamentary coffin. They were behaving a bit like bovver boys. The whole debate was a farce."
