Absolutely marvellous work. Saying that Von Rompuy has “all the charisma of a damp rag” and called the oxygen thief a “low-grade bank clerk” from a “non-country” which, to be fair, is being rather kind, it’s a shame that speaking rules didn’t allow him to have more of a say. […]

It could be nothing more than stirring on part a newspaper which has long since ceased to be the in house journal of the Conservative Party and also has a deep scepticism of the Cameron Project, but even so it is deeply worrying to read this in the Daily Telegraph […]

This is Comrade Obama’s latest assault on the economy: President Obama called on Congress Thursday to expand the government’s ability to […]

Stop laughing at the back there. Yes, McDoom (for it is he) has just made a series of ridiculous promises in a speech leaked trailed spun announced to the BBC here. As it was billed in the BBC headline as “targetting” the middle classes, you’d have thought that it was […]
