From the Indy’s media diary… MOVING ON to more cheerful affairs of the heart. Cyberspace’s one-handed surfers keep the words “internet” and “romance” estranged from one another, but there are, nevertheless, touching tales to be found on the web. Conservativehome.com is a (rather good) Tory site edited by […]

Apologies, in advance, for yet another post on the subject of abortion but having just watched the relevant segment of last night’s Newsnight and the comments of both Nadine Dorries and a representative of the Christian Medical Fellowship, there is a very specific point that needs dealing with. […]

As a bit of a coda to my last piece on Nadine Dorries’ mendacious conduct, it is worth noting with due reference to her habitual and tendentious practice of referring to ‘the abortion industry’ that prior to entering Parliament she was, for around a year, a director of […]

I’ve taken on and roundly picked apart the banal, uneducated and irrational maunderings of Nadine ‘Mad Nad’ Dorries on the subject of abortion on a couple of previous occasions, so I expect it will come as no great surprise to find that with the Commons’ Science and Technology […]

I see that ‘Desperate Dale’ has been at the [mad] cow pie again this morning: Five Labour Councillors Defect to Ealing Southall Tories Tom Watson MP, Labour’s by election campaign manager in Ealing Southall, has just had the shock of his life. Five Labour councillors in Ealing Southall […]

You know how, sometime, when you’re watching a film/TV drama or reading a book, it turns out that one of peripheral characters in the story ends up being much more interesting than any of the leading players? Well, its seems that for the attention that yesterday’s investigative piece […]
