While You Were Sleeping
Black Wednesday
- Predictably, the Affair of the Missing Disks is the top story this morning, although the Today Programme seems to be getting unusually excited about a prehistoric crab. Humphrys must be having one of his hot flushes again.
- Ann Treneman reports on the Parliamentary response to the data-loss news, the Telegraph criticises Alistair Darling's "strangely passive performance," the Mail launches immediately into worst-case-scenario, and the Independent explains why this might not be the end of the matter.
- But s'ok, coz in spite of what the anti-ID card crowd say, the Home Office data is completely secure and accounted for. Unlike the missing immigrants.
- Poor Darling. Whilst getting rid of a Chancellor is so serious that the Gord will do his darndest to ensure that this doesn't happen, Political Betting doesn't rate his chances.
- MI5 chief to appear before the Home Affairs Select Committee.
- LibDem leadership candidates on Newsnight: Charlotte Gore has a full transcript, On Liberty, Online calls it for Clegg, whilst Paul Walter is all "it was Huhne wot won it."
