Robinson did a fine job of smearing Cranborne this morning in a piece worthy of a bloke, one might think, who dreams of editing the Guardian when he leaves his present post. Assuming the rag still exists when that happy day comes, of course.

Tory Bear,

This is very silly of you and commenters to present it as No 10/BBC spinning and 'some at Westminster'. You don't really seem to have followed that this has been seen as a quite significant story in Northern Ireland itself on every side of the political spectrum.

None of you even seem to be aware that three Conservative ppcs in Northern Ireland resigned at the weekend over the secret Unionist talks, arguing that they contradicted Cameron's earlier pitch to a non-sectarian politics. Can we agree that is news?

And they have been condemned in stark terms not just by the moderate nationalist SDLP but also by the cross-community Alliance Party as undermining the "honest broker" role.

Cameron seems to have ditched the policy of Peter Brooke and John Major, which labour has continued, and you could argue there is a contrast too with Margaret Thatcher's Anglo-Irish agreement.

Leftish, but non-partisan and highly respected.

I heard Nick Robinson's unattributed bit of spin "some at Westminster are saying..."

He really should attribute malice or not use it at all.

The Tories could save a ton of money by advertising all future government jobs on the internet rather than in newspapers (like the Guardian).

It says a lot about Gordon Brown that he would even be prepared to see Northern Ireland lapse back into violence if he thought it would damage the Tories.

The man is a scumbag of the first order and I hope that all the little Labour trolls out there are fully aware of whom they support.

It's not surprising that Labour voters should switch to the BNP - there isn't much difference between the repressive, authoritarian Labour Party and the Nazi Party.

Its a nonsense story that will damage Brown. I didn't watch the News at Ten, Nick Robinson will hopefully be damaged too. It appears that both Labour and the BBC have acted very irresponsibly.

The story has been repeated by Nick Robinson on BBC News at Ten - absolutely disgraceful.
