John Hillary, Executive Director of War on Want, has written an article for - amaze me some more - the Guardian. Here it is: A myopic Tory approach to fighting global poverty Mr Hillary, I am sure, sincerely wants to fight global poverty. The trouble is that he and his colleagues in the development "community" have become a mini-class in their own right, complete with a class interest. I am foreve...

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 ...

David Miliband's article in the Guardian is lucid, intelligent, thoughtful and well constructed. I like David both personally and politically. So an article setting out such his analysis of the future should enthuse and motivate me. After all, I agree with 99% of it. Yet I read the Guardian article with a sinking feeling in my stomach. Intentionally or not, it will

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...

This blog has on occasion been a little bit of a cheerleader for Euro-candidate Zehra Zaidi..... and frankly, quite right too. This week, she followed a similar path to Bristol North West's prospective MP, Charlotte Leslie in writing for the Guardian. To read Zehra's article click here.

Last night, it was not clear if there was an organised Tory position on the emerging scandal concerning freedom of information and MPs’ expenses. Last week’s Guardian confided: “A Tory source said David Cameron was likely to encourage his MPs to abstain on Thursday” The same Guardian article last week had Lib Dem Shadow Leader of

My last blog entry demolishes Polly Toynbee's pathetic puff piece for Harriet Harman, masquerading as an article on Ghana - a subject on which she is almost totally ignorant. Toynbee's piece was published in the laughably misnamed Comment Is Free section of the Guardian. Several comments referring to my piece have since been deleted by Guardian moderators. The link to my article was publ...

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

Complete knobgobbling stupidity on display here. From the Guardian this morning: One of America’s biggest healthcare providers, McKesson, gave its chief executive, John Hammergren, a 190% pay rise last year to $150m. Welcome to the new NHS. Welcome to the corruption at the core of modern capitalism. Err, no. We do get that statement in The Guardian, true.
It sounds like something the speech-impeded Elmer Fud might say, but - in fact - it belongs to The Guardian, as writer Emily Bell shares with us in today’s 25th anniversary edition of Media Guardian. Apparently, it’s what the Guardian’s head of social media has come up with to describe the necessary approach to digital that
