Top political stories right now

A new PoliticsHome poll suggests that the public is divided on the need for a change to the voting system, but is overwhelmingly cynical about the government's motives for proposing it. MPs are to vote this afternoon on Gordon Brown's plan for a referendum on changing to the AV system.

Today's top ten must-reads

    • Leaders deserve scrutiny, not unquestioning belief. On election day, sceptical citizens will decide who can be better relied upon to run foreign policy, public services and the economy. Gordon-bashing, as Mr Cameron must surely know, will buy no votes and seal no deals.

      Continue to full article

    • With the country preparing to go to the polls in weeks, it is perhaps inevitable that short-term tactics will take precedence over longer-term considerations. But now more than ever politicians need to raise their eyes and their aspirations. The entire political class is in danger of being frozen out by the voters for years to come. There is far more at stake than one general election.

      Continue to full article

    • Stiglitz wants Gordon Brown – who he met for dinner yesterday evening – to hold his nerve, defy the markets and ignore those who want him to start reducing the budget deficit, which is pretty much everyone it would seem.

      Continue to full article

    • There is little worse than a bent copper who mocks the law by abusing the privileged powers bestowed on him. It is for that reason that the expense and time spent on prosecuting Dizaei is justified.

      Continue to full article

    • Many at Scotland Yard, and those who have since retired like Andy Hayman and Sir Ian Blair who oversaw the original Dizaei investigation, will be celebrating his demise. For me its an ill-wind that blows no one any good, with both the Met and the Black Police Association having been damaged in the process.

      Continue to full article

    • Listening to Andy Burnham, the health secretary, outline his public health plans always leaves me gasping for a cigarette – and I’m not a smoker. With his earnest schemes to kick the nation’s bad habits of drinking, over-eating and smoking, Mr Burnham embodies the Puritan streak in new Labour.

      Continue to full article

    • The Tory leader has had a difficult week. He needed to remind his party and the electorate that he has radical plans to re-shape the way we are governed that will make this country a better place to live. On this showing, it is hard to fault his ambition. The big question now is: can he deliver?

      Continue to full article

    • Gordon Brown proclaims that Labour can still win. His hopes hold no surprise. Unpopular prime ministers cannot permit themselves to imagine otherwise. To function through a general election campaign some small part of them has to believe the impossible might yet be rendered possible. For all the squalls that have lately hit David Cameron’s Conservatives Mr Brown’s colleagues mostly allow themselves a more realistic view.

      Continue to full article

    • As certain as death and taxes are the deep cuts to come. Whoever is in power, the axe will fall. But where, how soon and how cruelly will depend on who wins the election. Labour, unwisely, is ­giving a premature foretaste with Peter ­Mandelson's university cuts. But David Cameron and George Osborne, whatever their jittery differences in pre-election language, are pledged to consign ­considerably more public employees to the dole than ­Labour is.

      Continue to full article

    • The emotional displays will not do Labour's cause any good. They remind voters how long these individuals have been around, so long that they look back on traumatic events while still in power. But the occasional humanising moment has its place when political leaders agonise more privately over what to do with the ailing economy. There is a lot to cry about.
