Iain Dale has allowed rampant paranoia to completely possess him. If there is a pattern of few Tories getting up for Sunday morning television that must surely have something to do with those Tories? Any reasonable person would think. But Iain Dale asserts that this pattern results from a combination of Draconian Labour minders and pathetic pinkos at the BBC. I think Iain's being very brave o...

Yesterday Iain Dale suggested that if (Iain said "when" - arrogance may yet be the Tories' undoing) David Cameron should make Kenneth Clarke chancellor of the exchequer. I have always liked Clark,e and the Tories should certainly have made him their leader after losing the election in 1997. He would have busked it and kept the Tories cheerful while they worked out how the hell they were going...

Absolutely brilliant! Make Iain Dale the chief strategist for the Tories. And do it immediately if you please. HERE Mr Dale calls for all out war against the Socialist Horde. Best comment so far comes from the Lib Dem Voicer Lawrence Boyce: LoL site feed

Iain Dale in today's Telegraph has gone to great length to explain why he is now an Obama supporter rather than a McCain supporter..... and hush, there might be other Tories who feel the same. I am sorry you are going to have to explain this to me. Iain Dale is English, with as far as I know no right to vote in the American election, so it does not matter who he supports, other than in a foot...

I have a reasonably good relationship with Iain Dale. We met for coffee this week, and might well work together on some things in future. So I’m no knee jerk Iain Dale hater. At the height of the e-mail furore (how long ago it seems…), Iain libelled Tom Watson in the National press. Iain apologised at

Iain Dale asks where Vince Cable was in 1997. One would have hoped Iain would know this but Vince was only newly elected that year. Secondly, for the second time this week he is trying to claim that the Tories were first to predict the economic crisis. Oddly his justification for this last time was a quote from Robert Peston (the BBC economic guru) that stated the Tories were asking questions abou...

I almost fell of my chair when I read Iain Dale rightly criticising Tory run Bromley Council who appear to be run by a bunch of jackbooted jobsworths. It's a very rare event when Iain Dale attacks the Tories, but in this case very deserving.

Anyone who wants to know how thin the veneer of reasonableness that David Cameron has applied to the Conservative Party is should read Iain Dale's latest piece for the Daily Telegraph. You may recall the late 1990s as a time when the new Labour government could not be touched and the Tories were a rabble. Not Iain. He remembers it as something close to a Golden Age when Eric Forth and John Be...

Iain Dale's sign off post this morning contains the following remarks: At least we ran a results programme which told you the individual results all over the country, unlike the major broadcasters who seemed to think that it was uninteresting that Rochdale went Tory, or that UKIP won in Hull, or the Tories won in countless areas of Wales. Iain Dale is right. The Rochdale result is very intere...

My first post titled Irony was quite good, and involved Iain Dale. But this one is a cracker. And involves Iain Dale again. Tom Watson… Mr Watson complained of an article by Iain Dale, headed “Smears, glowering henchmen-like the Nixon White House” published in the Mail on Sunday on 12 April 2009 in which it was stated
