Points, In Order

Balls Up, Smith Down

mario.jpgBONG! Ed Balls releases his Children's Plan: foreign languages! adventure playgrounds! personal tutors! And some stuff about how video games are bad for you (boo!).

BONG! Gordon IS going to Lisbon, but only for the private-sardine-dinner-and-EU-Treaty-signing-without-cameras.

BONG! The public don't want it, the Commons don't want it, the terrorists don't want it, and Westmonster don't want it. But Jacqui Smith does, see, so you're getting it. All 42 of it.

BONG! Brenda's let That Woman have a go at naming a boat. Expect letters in the Times tomorrow about a constitutional crisis.

BONG! More pilot-gun-jumping with the announcement of the Putting People First programme, to allow disabled people to purchase local care. Pilot's still running, but initial results are so positive (and opinion polls are so dire) that they decided to put it out now.
