Good evening everybody Coming into the home straight now with things looking okay, but more tension to come The Tories really are despicable and we should all focus on having them out in May.

Those staunch labourites Ant and Dec voted Tory in 2010, and in the same article they said they could not see Miliband as PM, they also rubbished Cameron.

Personally, I think we are seeing the high water mark of the SNP and it will be very tricky to manage it from hereon in - Sturgeon is a bright politician though, I would have her in a Labour cabinet, and could manage her way through it as long as Mr S behaves himself I think any party entering into...

howsillyofme1

The article goes on to set out what happened in similar conditions in 1974 ... the SNP did deals with the Tories ... and current views from some in Whitehall re dealing with Sturgeon in the future. Can't help feeling that a Tory government would probably suit the SNP agenda very well. Good morning ...

Thank you for putting my thoughts into words, I am not Charlie either. Not for want of empathy towards those lost, but because the reasons behind their loss runs so much deeper than cartoons.

And to be fair you would expect them to do so. Slightly surprised Dave let Teresa chair it though.

Why would they be expected to...

howsillyofme1

For a start, there'd be questions about whether British papers would reprint the Charlie stuff, and the security implications of that. Think May was right to hold and chair. Sorry, don't accept that as an argument at all - why would the Government interfere in what newspapers were going to publish....

Thanks for posting this but I disagree as I cannot accept that violence is the correct response to satire.

The broadcasters don't want them, they will call the debates, which is why we are where we are. Cameron wants them either to muddy the waters or to split the Labour vote, neither are desirable as far as I am concerned. In reality I suspect if they were invited Cameron would find something else to s...

I believe they have explained their thinking quite well. It is now up to the broadcasters to invite them anyway and call Cameron's bluff - I will not be holding my breath for the BBC but I cannot see the others letting him get away with it that easily The broadcasters don't want them, they will cal...
