Labour lost because it wasn't Left enough. Right? Wrong!
Red Ken Livingstone represents an unending thread of Leftist (brain-dead) thinking -- not alien to the BBC and the Guardian -- which says the real reason Labour got slaughtered was because they weren't Left-wing enough. Oh dear, oh dear...

Ed’s cognitive dissonance
As Special Adviser to Brown (1997-2002), an MP from 2005, a minister from 2006 and a Cabinet minister from 2007, Ed Miliband’s hand is well and truly dipped in the blood of the financial catastrophe Labour presided over. Expect a return to old ways if Labour wins on Thursday

Time for a bit of ideology in UK politics

Yasmin’s Alibi Blown
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown made a big thing about a Tory MP making an inappropriate tweet about "punching her in the throat". Less well known is that last month she wanted to bang a "post-femminist"'s head against a wall. Oh, dear. What a fake

Miliband: A million pound baby
Asset millionaire Miliband poses as a Bash Street Kid who is going to sock it to the “toffs”. But it is Miliband who is the toff and it is the strivers that he will hammer

I’ve evicted Jeremy Paxman
