Today’s Telegraph ran a story that I first heard about last month, that BBC presenters earning more than the Prime Minister will be “named and shamed” within weeks if David Cameron wins the general election.
The Conservative Party are working on plans to cut the size and scope of the BBC, which receives £3.6 billion a year from licence fee payers. I love the BBC, but there is no doubt that are...

I have returned from the Conservative Spring conference. I had expected a busy weekend but was actually quite surprised by how many meetings I managed to fit in with organisations keen to speak to what they consider to be the next generation of Conservatives. One of them was Prostate Uk. I was delighted to offer them my support, especially when I realised how many men in the...

Spencer write “As February draws to a close, the Labour Party in Greenwich and Woolwich have clearly decided they ought to deliver the odd leaflet just to look like they might be interested in the electorate with an election in the near future.
