Another night, another Labour poll lead that would translate into a comfortable Labour overall majority.
We have just had a day on which both The World at One and PM treated minor public school dilettantism as the quintessence of expertise on the state education system, rather than concentrating on the third of Academies, higher than the proportion of local authority schools, that have been ordered to raise attainment or face the consequences, or on the 18 Academy chains, with one hundred thousand pupils, that have been banned from expanding because they are rubbish.
How long will it be today before the broadcasters mention Ed Miliband's bacon sandwich? Rather than spending all day and every day in the regurgitation of that morning's fodder from certain dying newspapers, one of which has lately had to stage a stunt with breasts merely in order to remind the public that it still existed at all, those broadcasters need to get out more.
The BBC, in particular, is increasingly making the case for its own privatisation. If it wants to be a tabloid of the populist, though no longer particularly popular, Right, then it ought to be made to compete for a share of that declining market.
