Fionn - I've loaded your feeds and see the same as you do, and I think this problem may be a feed data issue as the publication dates for several articles in the Guardian Unlimited feed appear to be future-dated, ie.

Code:

    <item>
      <title>Don't blame men for sex trade's evils</title>
      <link>http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,2233331,00.html?gusrc=rss&amp;feed=networkfront</link>
      <description>Comment is free: Henry Porter: A bill to criminalise prostitutes' clients will do nothing to help the victims of trafficking</description>

      <dc:type>Article</dc:type>
    </item>

and the time in the UK is currently 30 Dec 22:06 GMT so this Guardian feed is going to trump all other feeds that don't have the benefit of time travel.
