Andrew Neil continued his habit of making Boris Johnson feel uncomfortable yesterday with this cringe-worthy performance from the Mayor. Boris has shied away from doing full-scale interviews recently. His only real interview since the summer exodus was that painfully fluffy love-in with Vanessa Feltz. Thankfully that has come to an end now and Neil gets more out of Boris in just...

Guido is a close observer of BBC2's the Daily Politics and The Week , both fronted by Andrew Neil. Recently it has been noticeable that Brillo's hair seems to have undergone a renaissance. Could be a trick of the light, Mrs Fawkes agrees that is more likely a dark bottle of dye that has done the trick. Judge for yourself from these photos. Like a before and after advert?

Hat tip to Chris Paul for this ... and you can read what Chris has got to say about this psycho-babbler on his site, and Unity adds some more here... Analyse This My point is more about The Daily Politics and the Beebs other political programme fronted by Andrew Neil, This Week . One of them is shown very late on Thursday nights, about the time you usually get a horror movie on, and the...

... may well judge Bush harshly, he argues, but it’s too little, too late. Bob Piper - Raging against Andrew Neil’s piss-poor political programming. Ministry of Truth - Unity, writing about Neil’s Daily Politics, is more concerned with the programme’s supposed ‘psychologist’, Lucy Beresford, who sought to psychoanalyse the PM. Turns out she’s little more than a chancer and a charlatan....

Alan Duncan, the Tory energy shadow, was on telly yesterday talking to Andrew Neil. It was an interesting interview. Neil rolled out some pretty searching questions, and he allowed Duncan to answer without interruptions, even though Duncan avoided giving straight answers to most of them, and was careful to keep up an obbligato of attack on poor Gordon's record. One of his most...

Sketch: The Tory representatives are crowded around the Teletubby green BBC exhibition stand on one of the conference walkways. On-screen, and just a few metres down the hall, Andrew Neil is interviewing Philip Hammond, Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury.

Hazel Blears is a one! Now isn't she? Of Kilfoyle and Stringer she has just said that she loves them dearly but doesn't share their politics. I might say the same of her. But this comment was by way of a denial to Andrew Neil on the last conference Report from Manchester that - as the Times suggested graphically - she is the Queen Bee of a Killer Bee Hive. Out for a Taste of Honey to...

Firstly, a word about the BBC. It remains a mystery how the BBC squares its duty of impartiality with its employment of right-wing Andrew Neil to anchor these party conference programmes and allow him to make snide comments in his voice-over both before and after Brown's speech. He might make equally snide comments about Cameron next week but he shouldn't be editorialising at all. The...

"Now we know why it was so dull" says Andrew Neil on BBC2's Daily Politics , referring to David Miliband saying out loud that he toned down his speech yesterday to avoid a "Heseltine moment". It seems like a great excuse for a crap speech. With spin like that Miliband will go far...

I thought the THIS WEEK sofa had plumbed the depths when Jade Goody's posterior was invited to grace it. I was wrong. I've just caught up with this week's show. I am still trying to recover from the fact that Timmy Mallett was a guest. Here's his opening piece of insightful analysis.... Andrew Neil : Are we good in this country, or bad at positive thinking. Timmy Mallett : Wow, I've no...

Am packing all our stuff and not sending cheeky emails to This Week: I have been volunteering as a steward at the Lib Dem party conference this week, which has mostly involved standing at the door of the conference hotel smiling at people. I'd like to thank Andrew Neil for smiling pleasantly back. It warms a fangirl's heart. While you guys are here, do you fancy picking up a membership...
