Why did DC pull off another blinder at Brighton? Mainly because he did what he always does when the pressure is on: looked and sounded totally relaxed. I was reminded of the Clinton attack ads from the American presidential campaigns when she asked who you could trust to make an [...]

Polls come and go. They often make little difference. Yesterday’s poll showing the gap down to 2% was one of those polls that is a news maker in its own right. People interested in politics have been talking about it ever [...]

I am making this statement in advance of the release by the Cabinet Office of limited information about the award of my peerage and of the undertakings I gave at the time. While I value my privacy, I do not want my affairs to distract from the general election campaign. I have therefore decided [...]

Drop George. I know he’s your close friend but he stands in the way of election victory because he scares everyone shitless. He’s done just that in Grimsby by telling everyone the public spending which has improved everything has to be slashed. He’s done it in the City threatening cuts before [...]
