If the Telegraph has done in depth analysis and found the BBC to be biased that totally nails the Beeb. Whoever would have that the Telegraph would come to such a conclusion?
GIN, I don't think that Cable holds that much sway with Clegg or his team any more. I think that Carlotta has called this one right, 'Clegg goes on education.....the Tories go on energy'. Only one problem for Clegg and the Libdems, they are gathering a lot of form when it comes to trying to distancing themselves from their own Coalition Government's flag ship policies, whereas the Conservatives have consistently stood firm.
Clegg distancing himself from yet another flagship Coalition policy, this is a bad habit that he seems incapable of breaking as we head to the next GE. Clegg, the man from the Libdems who likes to say 'yeah, but no' every time one of his own Coalition Government's policies hit a few rough headlines.
However, there's something in the Sunday Times that will make Paul Dacre upset
A Special Branch assessment of Ed Miliband’s father, Ralph, found he was an exemplary character, loyal to his adopted country and with unblemished wartime naval service.
The assessment, held in files at the National Archives in Kew, southwest London, opened the way for permission for Miliband to become a British subject in September 1948.

So Osborne has announced that the British people need to 'up their game'.
That's coming from the man behind the Conservative election strategy of 2010, who preferred political tourism to preparing a budget and who is basing British energy security on PFI deals with the Chinese government.
"Political tourism".... just because GO went to the States before his budget but after he had completed the work on it. Just because you are a kipper there's no need to regurgitate Labour's propaganda.
I am not a 'kipper'. Nor do I regurgitate Labour's propaganda.
On the contrary there are people her on the left who repeat things which I've written and people on the right who repeat other things which I've written.
I think for myself.
You though are a cheerleader.
You will launch into ecstatic imbecility if your side does something and froth into furious indignity if the other side does the same.
Hence your pavlovian claim that Osborne had competed work on his budget before he went off to America to make a fool of himself.
However, rising energy bills seem to have knocked the feelgood factor. For the first time in six months, the proportion of households who expect to be worse off in 12 months’ time (48%) exceeds those who are optimistic (46%), according to the Sunday Times YouGov poll
For the sake of balance, can I just add that the BBC's entirely disinterested analysis of their own behaviour and that of their competitors can also be hilarious. Lets be clear, there is only one taxpayer funded media organisation involved here, and that is the one that has to be absolutely nailed on impartial and balanced in its delivery of the news. But simple having to be impartial or balanced doesn't automatically make it fact. So pouring scorn on another media outlet who might have an interest in scrutinising or questioning the BBC's very large monopoly in this area is pretty hypocritical.
Thankfully, another TV company decided to dig where the BBC were to scared to tread on their flagship evening political news programme when it came to investigating a huge scandal within the BBC. Had they not done so, would that scandal have ever come to light?

Not really a surprise that Communists like Milliband were regarded as 'loyal'.
Probably because he was. Why would anyone think a newly demobbed student at the LSE in his early twenties who'd just served three years in the navy was anything else?
I wonder if there are subsequent analyses by MI5 after Miliband rose to prominence as a Marxist academic?
They may paint a more nuanced picture - which of course will say as much about MI5 as Miliband.....
Cameron's approval slips, -15 (-4), while Miliband's improves, -26 (+4) and state of the economy -46 (-7) and personál financial situation -36 (-10) also take big hits.
On the 'trust' index the big losers are (net) Local Police: +40 (-8) and "upmarket newspaper" journalists: -22 (- 19), while My local MP ; -15 (+8) and judges +44 (+9) get a boost. The question was not asked about BBC or ITV journalists.
Belief that Mitchell told the truth grows; 36 (+6) but as many (40) believe he said "pleb" as do not (38). Opinion pretty evenly split on 'stitch up' (30) vs "misunderstanding" (21) vs "police telling truth" (24). Plebgate has not shifted overall trust in the police.

Perhaps I am guilty of judging MI5 with the hindsight of knowing of knowing the subsequent history of those regimes in Eastern Europe. But, the example of Poland was known even then.
Perhaps you are right and Miliband had failed to build up a track record in his support of communism, especially after his support after Hungary and Czechoslovakia when many British communists were completely disillusioned.

Try thinking for yourself for once.

The Communist takeovers in Eastern European countries was still to come - as was Churchill's defining 'Iron Curtain' speech.
Not really a surprise that Communists like Milliband were regarded as 'loyal'.
If the Communist takeovers didn't wake him up, Hungary and Czechoslovakia bloody well should have.
I thought you were sharper than that, TSE.

All of the eastern European countries had communist governments by September 1948

I'd humbly submit that TSE is one of the sharper contributors to this website.
