Labour having clawed its way back into contention in the General Election, the Guardian has started publishing articles suggesting it would be a good thing for Labour's own sake to lose the election: I can just about get the argument - it runs something along the lines that if you have to lose an election, lose the one when difficult decisions need to be taken to tackle the deficit. But this assum...

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...

Not content with publishing a letter from leading progressives, the Guardian tonight brings to an end its journey to a decision about which party to support. The article is here. General election 2010: The liberal moment has come If the Guardian had a vote it would be cast enthusiastically for the Liberal Democrats. But under our discredited electoral

The full tables from ICM’s monthly poll are now on their website here. There are two questions that I don’t think were in the Guardian (though I think the first was mentioned in their leader): firstly, there is relatively little appetite for an immediate general election. Only 26% of people would like an election now,

The paper posted this editorial online tonight: Citizens have votes. Newspapers do not. However, if the Guardian had a vote in the 2010 general election it would be cast enthusiastically for the Liberal Democrats. It would be cast in the knowledge that not all the consequences are predictable, and that some in particular should be avoided.

Could this add to Dave’s problems with right-wingers? The first paragraph of the Guardian’s editorial today is featured above and raises a question that is quite revolutionary for the paper - the idea that a Tory government might not be the worst possible outcome at the general election. Revolutionary because one of the bedrock certainties of

Guardian journo must must be texting from “outta space” or somewhere Labour still has a slim chance of seeing off the Tories at the next general election if it can show that the economy is beginning to improve by polling day, a Guardian/ICM poll reveals today. Right, I’ll have a pint of what Woodward is on…….. no,

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

Samuel Grove takes apart the pro-US, anti-Chavez bias of the Guardian’s Latin American correspondent Rory Carroll Over the course of two articles in as many days the Guardian’s Latin American correspondent Rory Carroll has described the most recent crisis to beset relations between Venezuela and the Unites States. In his first article, published on 12 September

Congratulations to the Guardian for launching an urgent debate on a New Politics over at Comment is Free. The Telegraph did all the initial running on MPs expenses but the paper now appears to have misjudged the public mood and the appetite for far-reaching reform believing that the solution to the democratic crisis is a general election which elects David Cameron. An election ...

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 ...
