Brenda plays Westminster

BONG! Roundup on the Queen's Speech first, kids: the Telegraph has a transcript, Peter Kenyon wonders what will happen to party finance reform, Nick Robinson reckons that the Gord was warned to be on his best behaviour and play nicely with little Davy Cameron but Davy reciprocates by whipping out the sling-shot nevertheless, the Coffeehouse sympathises with Brenda's yearly battle with strangled syntax,  and the Guardian wonders whether Her Maj provides the best medium through which policy is communicated to the nation.

BONG! Ben Brogan on the vast hordes of people who are actually interested in the above.

BONG! Croydonian on how Blair's approval ratings are currently somewhere around those enjoyed by Ming Campbell just before the knife was administered (via Mr Eugenides)

BONG! Bono kisses Pelosi butt. Sigh. Is this an early warning that he's going to do a concert on "laydees in politics" where people can purchase wristbands, listen to lectures from the bloke from Coldplay and boo the Government for not taking the issue of [insert current fashionable issue here] seriously?
