While You Were Sleeping
Deep Throats in the Treasury (hur hur!)
- Fair Deal Phil reports on how a senior Tory has admitted that they have a mole in the Treasury. Say it ain't so! The wonderful, impartial civil servants (who are only out to pursue the common good, against the wishes of those eeeevil politicians) that the likes of Tom Bower have been banging on about? Nurse! Bring Westmonster her smelling salts and loosen her stays!
- Corrections and clarifications: Westmonster would like to apologise to the Telegraph Spy column, who actually broke the Frank Lampard MP story rather than the Beeb. Whoops!
- One in ten men think chlamydia is a flower, according to the Times. What, it isn't? Ah, my morning cup of the clap has just arrived - excellent.
- The UK Polling Report analyses the Newsnight poll on immigration.
- Does the reaction to the plight of Sir Ian Blair demonstrate the main difference between the left and the right: a belief in structure as opposed to a belief in agency?
- Cardinal Blair. We like the sound of that.
- Lord Ashcroft's in trouble again, and Tom Watson asks a couple of questions about how the £35m that the Tories have had off the taxpayer in state funding has been spent.
- Nicky Clegg speaks out on education.
- There's cross party support for reducing abortion term limits! Oh, wait. It's just Mad Nad and a mate tabling an amendment which will inevitably fall. Give it up, woman.
- Like oh my God! It's ripping to be blonde and posh! Thrilling!
