I am interested to see the Telegraph seemingly treating former Labour and Tory grandees similarly, although I only skimmed the article. I wonder if Peter Oborne's allegation that the paper only showed interest in covering the HSBC story when Labour figures were mentioned had anything to do with thi...

Not sure if these have been posted before - I know what my head says, but even I don't want this to be true about Murkydochia...

Morning all... WRT the SNP/Ms Sturgeon, even I've had a couple of Twitter exchanges (I mean that in the sense that I'm still a bit timid with Twitter) with 45rs - they are (as has been discussed) fully immersed in the 'SNP only way to social justice - and you English are…well, just f*** off' - I thi...
