How big are the main parties and should that influence their funding? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WE are in party conference season. Labour have just had its UK conference in Liverpool, where delegates basked in the feel-good factor that came from having ditched Keir Starmer, who on some metrics was the most unpopular prime minister ever, at least to date. Andy Burnham has provided the Labour Party with a very modest polling bounce, which has been boosted by the recent fall in support for Reform UK due to belated negative media attention on its dodgy finances, attention which will only inten
Latest manager of Labour's branch office faces an impossible task (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE Labour party in Scotland has a new branch manager. The election of Michael Marra makes him Labour’s 11th Holyrood leader since the establishment of the Scottish Parliament, not counting interim leaders, of whom there’s been almost as many.

Malcolm Offord, leader of Reform UK’s contingent, availed himself of the occasion to repeat claims which had already been debunked and called out as falsehoods. In his first question to the First Minister, Offord repeated the false allegation that “the Labour-run Edinburgh City Council froze all social housing applications of homeless Scots”. Doubling dow
Paul Kavanagh: BBC bias against Scotland has ramped up to hysterical levels (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE bias of the BBC against Scottish independence is well known and widely acknowledged by just about everyone except the BBC itself. It’s an issue which goes back many years but which reached a fever pitch during the 2014 independence referendum campaign. After the referendum, I appeared in a documentary on BBC anti-independence bias, a documentary which naturally never saw the light of day on the BBC. I pointed out that the corporation had given extensive coverage to Better Together assertions
