Ever since the coalition government was formed, political commentators and Labour hacks have been falling over themselves to suggest that it is only a matter of time until Nick Clegg defects to the Conservative Party. So the news in today’s Telegraph may have been simply the inevitable news that party members dreaded, as Clegg throws off his [...]

Last month I blogged about presenter Clare Balding’s complaint about the nasty homophobic language used by AA Gill in the Sunday Times. Clare decided after being the subject of numerous snide remarks about her sexuality that enough was enough and made a complaint to the Press Complaints Commission. Today the PCC have upheld Ms Balding’s [...]

Yesterday I wrote about my sympathy for Ffion and William Hague amidst the media storm and the Hagues’ later statement. As I said at the time of David Laws’ outing earlier this year, I neither know nor care if Hague is gay or bisexual. If he had been unfaithful, then I would be sorry for Ffion, but I still [...]

The headline on today’s Guardian letters page says, ‘Tony Blair was’t Labour’s messiah’. Was he a very naughty boy, then? I was also surprised to see the self=description of the author. He signed himself as ‘Frank Jackson, Political education officer, Harlow Labour Party’. A local party with someone dedicated to political education? It sounds like something out of [...]

It’s almost exactly 10 years since I lost my father to bowel cancer at the age of 73 and almost a year to the day that Matthew’s grandfather, who I loved as my own, died of the same disease at the grand age of 98. The latter fought the illness for five years, a great [...]

If you search on Google for images of AA Gill, the second on the list is one entitled AA Gill basking in his own radiance. This is a man for whom the word ‘arrogant’ is an understatement, who is driven mad by his own brilliance. But he is also a man who makes his living [...]

Yesterday both myself and Mark Pack blogged about the Daily Mail and other tabloids paying paparazzi to stalk Miriam Gonzalez Durantez as she shopped at Rigby & Peller. Today it appears that the Mail have had second thoughts and pulled the article from their web site – only to replace it with something even more odious – a [...]
