Whether it's David Cameron or Lib Dem candidate Anna Arrowsmith, it's not where a politician went to school that interests me, it's what they did afterwards
Wow, personality: it's so in these days. So we are told from the world of politics, anyway, although how a political wife describing her husband as if she were in a 1950s sitcom ("Oh, that pesky man – never picks up his socks, he does") imbues him with a "personality" is debatable.
This would be a perfect time to talk about the leaders' wives because, heavens above, the only thing harder to find in the media recently than a political wife has been complaints about the amount of coverage of said wives. Yet let's resist the siren call of Sam Cam and her dolphin tattoo (only in politics could that tattoo be seen as rock'n'roll, not a permanent badge from the Girl Guides for achievements...

The crash, the snow, Obama's victory and Flintoff's final fling – a reminder of some of the best articles of the last year, taken from the Bedside Guardian. But what was your favourite article? Here's your chance to let us know
The week the crash went nuclear
Larry Elliott, 16 September 2008
It was Black Monday. Banks going bust. Stock markets in turmoil. A nosedive in the share price of Hbos, Britain's biggest mortgage lender. The brainboxes who come up with complex models of how financial markets work say that these sorts of things are supposed to happen only once in a blue moon. But at the moment it is a case of another week, another crisis.
A week ago it was the effective nationalisation of the American mortgage giants, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Yesterday, jobless bankers at Lehman Brothers were clearing their desks. With the virus spreading, there were doubts yesterday as to whether Washington Mutual,...

How did a fresh-faced amateur boxer from Kentucky come to symbolise the struggle of the black world? Gary Younge explains
On February 1 1960, four young black men walked into Woolworths in Greensboro, North Carolina, and demanded service at the whites-only counter. Independent of their elders and unconcerned by the prospect of imprisonment, they set the tone for a decade of protest and a fundamental shift in the consciousness of black Americans.
"On the day that I sat at that counter, I had the most tremendous feeling of elation and celebration," says one of the protesters, Franklin McCain, who was 17 at the time. "I felt that in this life nothing else mattered - I just felt that you can't touch me. You can't hurt me."
