- The Times is getting its journalistic knickers in a twist over what appears to be some intern buggering up the personalised-to-your-area press release jobbie. What do we want? An Independent Inquiry(TM)! When do we want it? NOW!
- Keith Vaz MP, chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee, condemns the Government's "British jobs for British workers" slogan as "employment apartheid."

- Discussion on the anti-terror laws are set to dominate the first full day of debate on Brenda's address.
- The bloke in charge of the LibDems responds to the Queen's Speech.
- In advance of the report of the Independent Police Complaints Commission tomorrow, opposition parties up the pressure on Sir Ian Blair to quit.
- Chris Paul has the latest on the thoughts of Mad Nad Dorries.
- Mervyn King softens his comments on Alistair Darling's eyebrows.
- Chris Atkins (whose book had an introduction written by Henry Porter. Nuff said) sees the dread hand of the Orwellian state stirring his morning porridge (again). He might have a point - who knows - but let's put it this way: if Isaiah Berlin had invited (for the sake of argument) Britney Spears to introduce "Four Essays on Liberty," would we have taken his subsequent frothings seriously? Huh?
- "Breast feeding 'does not let bosom sag'" the Telegraph assures us in another of their glorious headlines
