Nick Clegg is giving a speech tomorrow in which we gather he will address the question of the Coalitions ability to go the distance to 2015. I suspect he will use it to assert his commitment to making it work, whatever stresses the Tories might place on it. Events of recent weeks have cast a [...]Calm down, dears.

There can be no doubt about it. Bubblenomics is back. The stock market is at dotcom highs. House prices are rising. Markets reckon interest rates will remain at 0.5pc for at least another three years, despite official forecasts for GDP growth to have been a solid 2pc for two years by then. And a single [...]Rows over gay marriage and Europe can hurt the Conservatives. The NHS can kill them

Dear reader, may I beg a moment of your time? Id like you to complete a quick survey just two questions. 1. When was the last time you did the following: A) Went to a doctor or a hospital for medical treatment? B) Entered into a lifelong sexual partnership with someone of the same [...]
