John Bruton: 'the EU is still regarded by many in the UK as a homogeneous foreign country, not a highly diverse Union. Britain’s membership is seen more as a disposable convenience than as a long-term commitment."

Yet more utter nonsense from the UK eurosceptic media.

"Politically, the UK would be sending a clear signal to states which lose far more cases in Strasbourg, such as Russia and Turkey, that it no longer had confidence in the ECHR system. Whether you think that is a bad thing probably depends on your underlying theory of international relations and whether you think international institutions wor…

Prediction that SNP failure to back equal marriage means they think they'll lose the referendum

More reports from the front line of the war between the UK govt and the disabled.

"The dead monarch, Richard Plantagenet, was called for a reassessment of his fitness for work by ATOS – which carries out disability assessments on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) - after it was discovered the deposed King had spent years lying in a Leicester City Council car park doing absolutely nothing."

Peter Oborne of @telegraph gets it right. (Really.)

Wishful thinking: "...the idea that I am going to hold the euro zone to ransom at a time of acute financial stress by blackmailing our closest trading partners with some cobbled-together list of vague and probably unachievable ultimatums, risking years of damaging uncertainty, simply to appease a faction in my party who will never be reconcil…

@telegraph: fiendish Yanks pushing Brits to surrender to Herman Van Rompuy. About as incisive as Viz on Marx and Engels.

Analysis from @telegraph, but still...

@jonworth asks a good question.

More examples of lies told by the British press.

"After observing the rise in popularity of Ukip and the rise of anti-European sentiment generally, the issue was raised by President Barack Obama in a video-conference call with the Prime Minister on Tuesday."

Simon Usherwood thinks it's all to play for.

Jon Worth is much less sanguine.

Timothy Garton Ash is optimistic about winning.

What to say to someone driven to consider suicide by the British government's policies.

@jonworth puts it down to general suspicion of institutions.

Not necessarily success!

The excellent Jason, as ever.

Gerry thinks not. Let's see what happens in Rotherham.

40 years after That Was The Week That Was, where is satire on British TV?
