It’s quite amazing to read the starry-eyed treatment the BBC affords the latest claims from Chairman Mao fan John McDonnell. Labour insisted that the new rule was not a commitment to spend more money than the present government. Chancellor George Osborne has put in place rules saying that the government will create an overall budget surplus “in normal times”. Labour voted against the rule in Parliament, and Mr McDonnell said any future … Continue reading →

An eagle eyed reader sent me this! “Less than 12 hours after first publishing what I would think is a pretty major story, it has now been burried on the bbc news site: ECB stimulus surprise sends stock markets sliding The telgraph are leading with it in their business section: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/ and the Times: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/business/ The BBC will bury any story that shows the EU as anything less than an … Continue reading →

    David Cameron in PMQs condemned the fact that Labour had allowed back into its ranks one Gerry Downing….. “I was completely appalled to see yesterday that the Labour Party have readmitted someone to their party who says that the 9/11 suicide bombers, and I quote, “must never be condemned”, and belongs to an organisation that says “we defend the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq”. These are appalling … Continue reading →

The BBC ran this story with some enthusiasm today; Boris Johnson says an email telling his senior staff to back him over the EU referendum has been withdrawn. The London mayor, who is campaigning to leave the EU, said the memo to deputy mayors and senior advisers was “a cock-up, and not something I agree with”.It told them to “either advocate the mayor’s position or otherwise not openly contradict it” when … Continue reading →

Smith is in no way impartial and has already set … Continue reading →

  [The next government must] deliver a new settlement for Britain in Europe –because making the economic opportunities of the European trading bloc work for business, and ensuring clear safeguards for Britain against unwanted further integration, will be critical for our future success.
