Paul Mason makes the case for considered tactical voting to stop May: Tom

More from the Guardian demonstrating how bad news reporting has become in tory Britain: uk-world-press-freedom-index-reporters-without-borders Tom

Those who can remember Jeremy Corbyn actually talking to Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness will be well aware of the condemnation slung at him for years after the event. They will also be aware that the British establishment failed to suppress the Irish Republican movement by military force and...

'This is the BBC' - I can remember hearing that announced in a posh but homely and reassuring voice and it stood for something in the minds of most people. At some point, the BBC became referred to by some as 'Dear Old Auntie', possibly because we all trusted the best news source available in...

The thoroughly obnoxious hack (in my view), Peter Hitchens, has this to say about the suddenness of the General Election: This list purports to include all those tory MPs under police investigation: Tom

I don't need to add anything to this. Tom

Remember this from 2010? Just a typical BBC employee and 'fixer' - whatever was required, (nudge nudge, wink wink!), Jim could fix it. Tom

With regard to May's visit to the plebs in Bridgend, the 'Guardian' has demonstrated a sense of humour by lampooning her in an article......... kim-jong-may-received-with-rapture-and-adulation-in-bridgend Tom

With regard to your complaint to the BBC, 'homemoz', you might remember this item from January: Tom

Mrs May has been advised she ought to go out and visit the plebs - good for publicity when an election is in the offing - but I'm not sure her personal charm and political nous are sufficient to win over the kind of people who have to pay tax on their earnings, unlike the people to whom she...

With respect 'homemoz', the tenor of your post suggests a degree of surprise in addition to your general anger. Some of us have been banging a drum about exactly that for a long time but I actually believe that the general public are finally waking up to the fact that the BBC is no longer fit...

Craig Murray, former Ambassador to Uzbekistan which, for those not up on their geography, is a little to the east of Lutonstan and Watfordstan:).....about 3,000 miles or so actually, has given forth with his views on Jeremy Corbyn. Given the utterances from the current Defence Secretary...

I had never seen this before but it's a cute little explanation of the money system - the US system in this particular case but the principles described are universal: Tom

This election campaign seems to causing some little ripples within Westminster to become rather large issues among the public at large. May called an election, I think, to consolidate her position and to allow the tories to do pretty well whatever they please in the forthcoming negotiations...

A friend sent me this today and when I started reading it, I wasn't quite sure where it was going....... Tom

This piece from Ireland is interesting although I'm not sure I go along with the writer's views: http://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/roger-cole-why-jeremy-corbyn-will-be-the-uk-s-next-prime-minister-1.2805701 Tom

This is the reason why so many people who really need a socialist government in the UK fail to vote Labour. The people listed here are responsible for the mass brainwashing of generations of British people: Tom

I'm not sure we're getting the whole story of the recent machinations from tory central office. I'm starting to think Mrs May is out on a limb at the moment. If her ambition ends on June 8th, the hawks will very quickly kick her into touch and her politcial career will be ended prematurely...

The Conservative MP John Redwood has provoked derision on social media with a call to buy cars manufactured in Britain. Twitter responded... https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/apr/21/john-redwood-mocked-for-telling-people-to-buy-non-existent-british-cars Tom
