The Paul Richards column Is there a new concerted attempt to suggest the Labour Party is riddled with communists and subversives, who were filling their boots with Moscow gold during the 1980s?

The Paul Richards column I have nothing personally against the individual members of the Royal Family. The Queen seems to do what is expected of her, and she was great in that film. What was it called? Ah yes, The Queen. I even have a sneaking regard for Prince Charles who has proved over many years that he does not fear the unpopularity caused by his eccentric and unfashionable views...

Since then, I’ve been reflecting on the television dramas which guided a generation towards left-wing politics in the same decade. For me, there were three BBC dramas which stood out in the decade that gave us Breakfast TV and Treasure Hunt. For...

The Paul Richards column Last Thursday in the Times Phil Collins offered the view "with the exception of Billy Bragg, and even he will be remembered for the love songs, nobody seems to be able to do political songs anymore". If it had been Phil Collins as in the Cadbury gorilla it might have been a bigger story ("Genesis drummer says modern pop is rubbish"). But the...

The Paul Richards column Islamist terrorists planted the car bomb which killed more than 100 people this week in the old city area of Peshawar, Pakistan for two reasons. The first was because it was crowded, and the bomb would kill many people. The second is that the Peepal Mandi market is famous for selling women’s make-up and wedding outfits, so the bomb would kill many women....

By Jessica Asato / @Jessica_Asato Paul Richards’ excellent Friday column is very persuasive in its case against inviting Nick Griffin onto its flagship political programme. I have to admit feeling building panic as, after watching QT, I read comment after comment on the BBC’s Have Your Say page saluting Griffin’s bravery and railing against immigration. No doubt the...

Tony Blair understood the need for setting a Bolt-like pace in government. The first and second terms of Labour were characterised by furious flurries of announcements, initiatives and ideas. Some, like Sure Start, Asbos, or classroom assistants stuck,...
