Kudos to the Guardian which has obtained council-level euro results and munged them together into one giant spreadsheet with click-sort columns, over on its datablog. The hook the Guardian are using is that it allows you see just how well the BNP did in your area, but anyone with a political hat will want to

Here's the Guardian article Cons 38% (-7) Lab 33% (+3) LibDem 19% (+1) Others 10% (+2) This is the highest Labour has got with ICM since April. Tories are below 40 (they need 40% to win an overall majority) The following is from the Guardian article: "Asked to compare Cameron and Gordon Brown on a series of characteristics, Brown pulls ahead by 11 points as the person most likely to get ...

Vanessa Neumann, a self-confessed product of Venezuela's maligned "oligarchy", writes to The Guardian letters with some facts to prove Chavez is the dictatorial monster The Guardian seems determined to portray him as. In the comments section, though, it would appear Ms Neumann (and The Guardian) have been rumbled.... I live in the US and read The Guardian because I cannot stand the biased US ...

The Guardian has made more petty attempts at moral equivalence today by running a ‘story’ in which they get overly excited about the fact that between 2004 and 2008, 45 Americans tried to claim political asylum in the UK in...

Guardian has a Miliband agenda Bob Marshall-Andrews, though an unreconstructed maverick, writes a very entertaining blog, which everyone should read just to cheer themselves up in the morning. Anyway here he is on the subject of writing for the Guardian: "Just had an article urging Brown to go for growth turned down by the Guardian All my articles are turned down by the Guardian but...

Hallelujah! It had to happen eventually: the Guardian is enraged! by a show of support for someone they call a 'convicted criminal'. Just to spell it out to the Guardian, Shields may indeed have been convicted, but a 'criminal'? Didn't the Guardian used to be in favour of actual trials? Still, let's check the scorecard here, guy captured by US troops on Afghan battlefield and sent to Gitmo: obviou...

What on earth was the Guardian doing accepting an advert (placed by the GLA) for a researcher for the BNP? I have no doubt that Guardian executives will justify their decision to on the grounds of liberty and free speech but it is disappointing nonetheless. Or am I over-reacting? Was their decision based upon principle or profit? I have always thought that the Guardian was keen on promoting good c...

I have spent this European election campaign pounding the streets as a Labour activist rather than as a candidate. It hardly needs saying that it has been tough going. But what has dismayed me and many of my fellow activists in the final week of the campaign is the timing of the Guardian's decision to call for Gordon Brown to quit (Leaders, 3 June). The Guardian has as much right as any other...

What an utterly stupid question. Yet it is one which obviously preoccupies Sarfraz Manzoor of The Guardian, as he ponders whether or not the Conservative Party has changed ‘since Enoch Powell gave his notorious speech in Birmingham’. Why is this one speech by one Tory at one particular time deemed to encapsulate the beliefs and attitudes of all Tories for all time? It is not the Conser...
