A fair amount of press has been given to PMQs today, guest hosted by Harman/Hague. Hague predictably made an incisive attack over the government's economic record; entertaining to watch, but little more. Of course, PMQs are not the time for the Opposition to proffer solutions to the public. Instead we have new fandangled media such as the Web. So, along I trotted to the Conservatives website* to s...

In the Guardian, Polly Toynbee argues the that Conservative plan for retrenchment and thrift is economically illiterate. Today's FT has an excellent article by George Parker on Gordon Brown's new core team. Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Iain Martin says morality is making a comeback and argues that is bad news for Gordon Brown. William Hague uses an article for the Sun to explain why B...

The Media Watch complaint to the BBC on the 23rd of March about their Great Fire of London article has been successful in getting the article amended. Originally, the article said: With the country also at war with the French and Dutch, paranoid xenophobia - a familiar English trait - was rife. The passage has now changed to: With

  Yup, Harriet Harman doesn't like being mocked by William Hague.  But she's not going to turn the other cheek.  Her retaliation: pointing out that Mr Hague in 2004 took as much as £20,000 from none other than Royal Bank of Scotland for after-dinner speeches. (You can inspect the record here) Neatly, she waited until Mr Hague had used up all his questions too, denyin...

Nothing to worry about apparently. Just as well. Wouldn't want an august journal of record being hacked in any way that would be disrespectful. This is the paper that had Gordon Brown as guest of honour at their big party this year after all. James Kirkup's article today has an amusing angle: www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/gordon-brown/4961897/Gordon-Brown-is-a-cunt.html

I've just read another piece on the subject of expenses by an MP who is trying to divert blame on the story to the Telegraph and the media in general. The MP in question, who has cross-posted at Comment is Free is none other than John Prescott, and the article contains the typical obsfucation that we have come to expect from politicians. Prescott attemtps to argue that the media is in dying need o...

Nothing is funnier than the mainstream media attempting to do new media but getting it wrong - or just not getting it at all. This hilarious screenshot of the Telegraph website shows that someone in Buckingham Palace road has that little knowledge that is thought to be a dangerous thing. credit where it’s due

Could he be bigger than Sam Cam Candid Camera? With 2,249 followers since launching himself on Twitter last night, some are already suggesting that William Hague (@WilliamJHague) might prove the real digital media superstar of the Tory campaign. His latest...

11.30am: With the Prime Minister in Brussels, Harriet Harman is standing in for PMQs today. William Hague is facing her for the Opposition. Rosa Prince of the Telegraph expects Harman to "make the kind of pops about Hague's little Lake...

It would seem that the Torygraph (now in my book, although biased, a more apt newspaper of record than The Times) has become involved with some people accused of rather murky practices. As well as being massively party political. Whither integrity? I wonder what the Barclay Brothers have to say about it - Hat tip: PR and media blog
