While You Were Sleeping

"They talk about nothing else on the streets of Bognor" edition

  • We can only assume that the Gord actually wants to induce apoplexy in Henry Porter and the trendy-lefty chatterati with this announcement on his new security measures. Westmonster hopes the Government whips' office has got a selection of hard hats, a vat of whiskey, and their best pleading voices on standby.
  • Lots of juicy stuff in the loans-for-lordships investigation was not made public, according to a police report. What. Evah. Westmonster, for one, finds it hard to believe that there was anything left to leak to the newspapers by the end of it.
  • Parliamentary Questions takes a look at the SNP budget.
  • Peter Riddell reckons that Lord West's two statements on extending the 28 day detention period are compatible with each other. Oh Peter! They got at you too? Just kidding.
  • Peter Facey over at Liberal Conspiracy is urging the readership that they have nothing to lose but their chains in pursuit of the Citizens' Convention Bill which would allow members of the self-selecting middle-class and assorted chattering bores the public a real say over constitutional reform.
  • Louise Bagshawe continues to find new ways to dress up the words "David Cameron is, like, sooooooo dreamy!" in an article supposedly about something else.
  • Skipper breaks ranks and tentatively questions whether the Private Eye's "Supreme Leader" satire contains an element of truth, for which he has presumably earned himself a long stay in a Siberian gulag for his insubordination.
