Edifying scenes and the smearing smear

BONG! The party funding debate is rumbling on in the House of Commons as we speak, and what follows is the summary thus far. Conservatives: Labour's corrupt and funded by smelly working class people ... uh ... unions, we meant the unions. Labour: at least we're not funded by Darth Ashcroft and the Dark side of the Force. Conservatives: bugger off! Labour: no, YOU bugger off! And so on and so forth.

BONG! Martin Kettle on how the Labour's Golden Compass has become somewhat tarnished of late.

BONG! Fraser Nelson on why the snob "smear" against Cameron matters. "Smear" eh? Damn straight it's a smear; you can't move on the streets of Bognor for young men related to the Queen whose careers have encompassed Eton, Oxford, and the Coldstream Guards. They're a right nuisance in the queue at Butlins.

BONG! And the general consensus is that Nick Clegg needs to get his shit on.
