Guido reports that Mad Nad is saying:

The frenzied attack against Conservative MPs and MEPs, orchestrated by and emanating from the left wing BBC and press has equalled that of an animal in its death throes. The more terminal the position looks for Labour, the more desperate the BBC and left wing press become. The incoming Conservative government has many big dragons to slay, the BBC has to be the biggest.

I suppose we all have a view on the bias of the press and for many of us it’s related to our own positions.  If we’re left wing, we lament the right bias of the press and vice versa.

I am racking my brain trying to remember where I heard or read the following which I now paraphrase:

The right-wing press have given David Cameron’s policy vacuum an easy ride.  One gets the impression that if the Tories announced a new policy in favour of the slaughter of the first born, the Daily Mail would headline it “Excellent news for second children”

I can’t find it by googling, but I do keep coming across this beaut of a quote from Nottingham South MP Alan Simpson’s resignation letter.  I really ought to put this on an election leaflet at some point.

There are good people in the Parliamentary Labour Party; just not enough of them. Many MPs complain of a government that no longer listens to the party, but they dutifully walk through the division lobbies to vote for whatever regressive measures Downing Street asks for. At times I feel that colleagues would vote for the slaughter of the first-born if asked to.
