Exclusive: The Liberal Democrats’ untrue claims about a “Brexit brain drain” at British universities

When a Labour leader has exhausted their stock of coherent charges, they claim that the Tories are going to sell the Health Service.

By Henry Hill | 28 November 2019 at 3:00 pm | 128 comments

An idea for McDonnell. Pledge £1 million to every voter in Britain.

Let him carry on what he’s started by exploding the financial framework Labour announced in only two days.

Six of the best Burgonisms

The Labour manifesto: “incredible”/”simply not credible”, “fully costed”/not fully costed

Their manifesto doesn’t provide any costings for their most expensive plans. The IFS says their tax pledge is not believable. But will they get away with it?

Swinson’s ‘bicep-kissing’ strategy does not appear to be working

The Lib Dem leader’s approach has a logic to it, but it is risky. But instead of delivering a surge, her numbers are on the slide.

The abuse scandal revealed Watson as either fool or knave – either ought to mean the end of his career

“The Light of Lights looks always on the motive, not the deed; the Shadow of Shadows on the deed alone.”

By Henry Hill | 7 October 2019 at 4:00 pm | 67 comments

The Left uses far worse language about the Tories than Johnson would ever use about the Benn Act

By Henry Hill | 26 September 2019 at 3:30 pm | 144 comments

Corbyn’s speech showed his fear of losing his anti-establishment street cred

Class war was the tried and trusted theme. Yet the Labour leader has managed to come across as both weak and extreme.

By Harry Phibbs | 24 September 2019 at 6:50 pm | 31 comments

Corbyn has been wily enough not to plunge into the Brexit trap set for him by Johnson.

By Andrew Gimson | 24 September 2019 at 6:40 am | 63 comments

McDonnell’s promise of a four-day working week with no loss of pay is an attempt to defy economic gravity

The workers being promised fewer hours for the same money would also have to fund huge increases in the cost of public services.

By Mark Wallace | 23 September 2019 at 6:15 pm | 78 comments

By Paul Goodman | 23 July 2019 at 10:00 am | 46 comments

It seems they hope that if they can weather the antisemitism scandal long enough, it will simply be accepted as background noise.
