The end of a long day in politics

BONG! Those geniuses (genii?) at Labour HQ have discovered another way to irritate the electorate - all hail! Not only are members of the public subjected to a form of market research (called Voter ID) when they open the door to a red rosette-wearing canvasser, but now they've removed the need for human interraction with the proles altogether with an automated version thereof. All part of the new "listening" Labour Party.

BONG! The Coffeehouse reports that the Gord likes the look of George Osborne's new clothes and has ordered Alistair Darling to get a set just like them. This might not, however, be enough.

BONG! Ann Widdecombe is to give up being an MP to spend more time with her celebrity endorsements.

BONG! Dave's recent Pauline-from-Eastenders stylings have been irritating Dave's Part.

BONG! Austin Mitchell MP, with a colourfully written harangue against those Tories who are accusing Brown of cowardice whilst privately offering up thanks to Our Lord that they're not required to put their balls where their mouths are.

BONG! The New Statesman's Sian Berry on the catastrophic environmental disaster that would have been an autumn election.

BONG! Brother Dizzy is outraged at the provisions of the Human Tissue and Embryology Bill, and urges men everywhere to withold their sexual labour in protest.
