We get £2.3bn back from Lloyds 02:57am on 06 Jun 2009 Come on Robert, you can do better! Your blog is normally very good, please leave others at the BBC to spin the Labour message.
PM chooses his words carefully 7:32pm on 25 Mar 2009 Brown has not had to pursuade any democratic body in the UK of the merits of his case, unlike the USA, there has not been a single vote on his spending plans. But just maybe the markets (and the Bank of England) are finally saying 'steady on old chap, do you really know what you are doing?'. Well if they are, they may already be starting to believe he hasn't a clue.
How much is it all going to cost? 10:45am on 10 Mar 2009 More positive spin from Stephanie ! The question is not how much as a %age of GDP are we borrowing compared to the rest of the world. The question is how will we or even can we repay it? I dont pay tax in the USA or Japan, I pay it here as will my children.

The countries finances are a wreck and only those in the cushioned, pension protected, rarified atmosphere of the BBC dont seem to see it.
EU 'big' brought to heel 9:31pm on 01 Mar 2009 Where would we be without the BBC painting all matters European with a positive tint?
Why Sir James Crosby resigned 5:12pm on 11 Feb 2009 Robert you and the prime minister are correct KPMG did investigate Mr. Moore's claims and found them to be unwarranted.

Guess who audits HBOS's accounts, yes you guessed it KPMG !

Conflict of interest?
Torture allegations and UK-US relations 4:54pm on 04 Feb 2009 My wife is American and I have lived there. The USA is a fabulous place and a fabulous democracy (in stark contrast to our own), but never believe that America does anything but look after its own interests. By swearing to uphold the constitution the American president is swearing to protect the US not us.
Made off with $50bn 12:37pm on 14 Dec 2008
At leasy Madoff has been rumbled. In this country there is an even bigger fraud being perpetrated...the prospect of fat public sector pensions being paid to 60+ yr olds, paid for by people forced to work beyond 60 in the private sector.

Madoff investors had a choice, tax payers don't!
Lisbon charm offensive 10:19am on 04 Dec 2008 Mr Mardell,

You should be reporting fairly, difficult as it may be to you that there are many euro-sceptics in your audience, we through the mandatory tax - the BBC licence fee - pay your salary.

A little more balance please.
The sanctity of the Commons 7:34pm on 28 Nov 2008
Hardley a surprise, after all when the police can kill an innocent Brazilian with impunity, arresting an MP is small beer. We should be very worried and the police ashamed.

Would these fools have held Mr Green for 42 days given half a chance.

What chance for the rest of us?
Citi and manic Monday 11:06am on 24 Nov 2008 Robert,

I'm totally confused...unrestrained, unreasonable borrowing apparently got us into this mess, so what's the government going to do to get out out of the mess?

Unrestrained, unreasonable borrowing !
