And I insist I’m a pretty pink elephant in a sparkly golden tutu. Also looks like Labour’s now been forced by the leaks to publish Lord Goldsmith’s advice in full. More, as they say, soon. Update: .pdf download of the … Continue reading →

Up now, courtesy of our Ken. Also at the General Election Blog is an interesting post on the whole Tory vs. Labour thing from our resident right-winger, Blimpish which is worth a look. Meanwhile, Keith Barratt of Kos spin-off The … Continue reading →

Today Programme. This morning. Half asleep. (Am still.) Milburn. “Back door”. Usual. Then, clincher: “You’re not just voting for your local representative, you’re not just voting for the government, you’re voting for the Prime Minister.” Bye bye Labour. Blair + … Continue reading →
