Clarke puts the tories on the back foot yet again.

Current Coalition Government 14%
Last Labour Government 21%
Both 44%

Whose side is he on?

The problem is that there is always the suspicion that "he who pays the piper...."

A positive for state party funding is that we could have it set independently, and at a very low level to discourage the burgers from spamming us constantly for weeks?

Clearly the key period will be the formal campaign where UKIP will have published its manifesto and receive equal coverage to the other parties.
Irresistible force meeting immovable object.
Especially as I've had my interest piqued sufficiently to look at the actual details and it's very noticeable that the Coalition Government have actually been the most assiduous and successful at chasing down tax evasion and avoidance.
And Miliband certainly knows that. It's a little depressing that I had a lot of time for him back at the start. Now I hold him in genuine contempt.
He was in the papers the other day
The renewable energy company Ecotricity is giving £250,000 to the Labour party, and has accused the government of being deceitful on climate and energy policy.
Dale Vince, founder of Ecotricity, said he felt compelled to act because there was “an existential threat from a second-term Tory government”. He said it was a myth that Labour was anti-business and praised the party’s leader, Ed Miliband, for standing up for renewables and taking a “pro-people” approach to banking and energy markets reform.

Trust Ed will throw him under the buss and say he is "dodgy" forthwith
Labour Minority 5/1
Combined 2/1
Someone tell me who is going to get into coalition with either?
Also Vince let it out of the bag, he said the Tories were against on-shore windfarms, which his business really needs so that capacity of renewables is increased.
I might fancy the Blues at Odds against
I think that the first time I've ever been in the majority on every question
But when they get to fill in the ballot, they will think "Cameron or Miliband?" and choose accordingly.
(As my father pointed out to me, one day, when I referred to myself as an 'investment banker')
Boris says he wants to play a role in EU renegotiation because he knows Brussels. If he weren't mayor he'd ask Dave to be the top man
Are the figures on the tax story a disaster for Ed then?
Cameron 18 points ahead of Miliband on approval.
What a complete surprise.......
When OGH declared this week a triumph for Ed I did suggest we wait for the Sunday's......
Neither of our two main parties have a clue what to do, they want power just to stop the other guys getting it.
Alex Salmond is why I'm sticking before betting big on Lab majority. If SLAB get back to 50% their seats in Scotland then Lab maj looks value to me. Otherwise the Salmond Spectre could have decisive final week impact on english voters.
RotK really created a watermark for staging battles. The Charge of the Rohan was 6000 horse, once you see what 6000 horse looks like thanks to Massive then you have problems believing things like the Braveheart scense of about 100 horse pretending to be circa 4000.
I'm not suggesting Sharpe battle scenes were without problems but compared to what you consider acceptable now, it worked.
GoT doesn't show large battle scenes. They didn't even pretend to in Season One where it was "build up" then cut to "walking amongst the dead". Where it does, it tends to be quite limited, the Battle of Blackwater Bay lent itself to cheap CGI for the fleet and a very limited pitched battle on the beach. The first time a major battle was actually shown on screen was Neil Marshall's phenomenal Battle of Castle Black in Season Four. (All the stuff in Esteros is pretty much static ranks of Denerys army and not large scale battles).
The link below gives a lot of interesting background (although I should say that it is one of the most specious claims by the ex-wife I've ever heard of!)

Also is it true the Guardian shelter half their £850m reserves in the Caymans?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/environment/11413504/The-wind-tycoon-the-donations-to-Labour-and-36m-in-subsidies.html
I take the view that they pretty much only mess up everything they touch, so better that they sit back and do nothing. If it takes £10bn of money wasted in DfID to keep them quiet then it's a small price to pay
His speech to Welsh Labour on tax avoidance was riddled with lies, I hope Channel 4 fact checks it.....
“In order to create a brighter future, we call for solidarity among our unloved comrades so that we may demonstrate in resolute opposition to Valentine’s Day and the romantic industrial complex”

Bit rich of them to get high horsed about this? That's the trouble with moral crusades. Who's actually that moral?

Lab will not have anywhere near as many DODGY donors as the Tories
Sorry to see your club, Derby, drop out the FA Cup today.
With a new manager now in place I'm hoping Villa can progress to the last 8 by beating Leicester tomorrow at home. I've backed Villa to win the FA Cup (each way) at 66/1. Despite having successfully got to the last 16, Villa's last price matched price matched on Betfair is 35.0.
Value?
The subsidy is added to household electricity bills and paid by consumers, pushing up bills for all households. It is probably fair to say Mr Vince has earned more from the Labour-introduced subsidy than any other individual in the UK.
But Vince Dale probably believes that the Tories might be more likely to cut green subsidies than Labour.
He's entirely, and nakedly, self-interested. Bernie Ecclestone is also self-interested.
I have no doubt, of course, that all donations to the Labour party are made from the purest of motivations.
Very little red top activity so far this evening.. I sense tidy exclusives on the boil #tomorrowspaperstoday
In that time scale the truth and facts would overtake the lies and sound bites.
On action and success in starting work on collecting more tax there is only one winner. BBC, Guardian and many left leaning business and unions would be exposed as well.
I'm hearing rumours that a certain Iain Cable may have questions to answer....
We could be near the end of big personal donations.
(b) Even if your assertion is true [not so sure myself], that doesn't matter. Labour need to have near-as-dammit none, now that they've started down this road.
