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

Sharon Shoesmith pleads her side of the story in today's Guardian. Her account sheds adds very little to what has already been aired in public - so rather than go over the ground I've blogged about at some length previously I'll just make three brief points this time: 1. It's a journalistic scoop for The Guardian - so I've no complaints over the front page lead and three full inside pages they've ...

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 ...

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.

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?

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...

Headline to Guardian leader: Economy: Down, down, deeper and down So, err, where does that come from? Ahhhh, yes….. The Guardian, hip and with it as ever. Cultural references to Status Quo circa 1975. Well, that was when the UK was at its most equal ever, wasn’t it?

An extraordinary full page advertisement by Unite the Union on the back of the Guardian. Hilarious and extraordinary. Please take a look. Worth the cover price of the paper all by itself. A large picture of a bow-tied man smoking...
