It strikes me we never heard again about that factoid about how Labour had privatized more than the Coalition that Kirsty Wark hit Burnham with...

Why the rise in the Ukip vote there now?

[Tubby Isaacs]

Didn't stand last time.

[rebeccariots2]

Didn't stand last time.

Ah thank you Tubby. I'm being particularly thick tonight - tis obvious from the figures. Thank you for not pointing out just how thick that question was - leaving it to me to note that myself!

This #bbcqt is terrifying - no-one in government appears to have the VAGUEST plan of how to counter ISIL. They're just going blaaaaaah.

There's only one person on the panel who is in government - Anna Soubry. I agree entirely that that is how she comes across.

Spain: Election #Elecciones2015 in one month. Will bring governmental change (GAD3 poll).

Maybe not- the PP look like they'll come first, and they could do a deal with the Citizen Party who are economically quite right wing, but at least will knock the PP's social conservatism on the head.

Both of them are very anti-Catalan independence.

But they weren't just operating without any connection to the Tory party were they ?
Someone must have been accountable for them, signing off their expenditure etc.
There must have been a line of management leading upwards.

Is this just the usual suspects, including Toady Young, trying to keep the story out of the limelight ?

Think Grant Shapps and Lord Feldman (at the least) as accountable - but they wo'n't be. And yes, usual useful idiots who don't get why there's such a fuss about someone they've never heard of being hounded to his death or how the person/people responsible (of whom they claim never to have heard) could possibly be responsible...

None of the results are great but it's a relief to see Corbyn at the top.

My gods, yes! Good spot. Part of the "repeat it it enough, even subliminally, it'll become fact" doctrine no doubt.

I don't remember seeing this before. Responses urgently needed if this article is to be believed (ive been up too long).

NHS mandate public consultation deadline. 23rd Nov. Article says we've been asked for our views but don't know it. Why? Because the government has been pretty quiet about it.
