Staggering new chart from the IMF. We all know that increasing energy costs hit low income households hardest, but in the UK that impact will be the second biggest in the world, and the differential with the best off will also be the biggest. What is the gov’t going to do?

A lot of people seem to be really struggling to grasp exactly what the Tories have become.

It's no mystery to me- I've seen them up close, at work and play, and I think you guys need to understand what we're dealing with.

Nails it, I think.

[Laura Kate @cakeylaura]

Labour and the Conservatives have been drawn more or less level in the polls for some time now, and Labour seem incapable of pulling firmly ahead - despite the government's endless buggering up of things. Why? I've got a theory, and I'm going to use my father as the example...
