The decorators have been in

BONG! The LibDems have a shiny new leader: all hail CleggHuhneMan! And more importantly these days, they have a shiny new homepage, featuring new leader without a tie. Gasp! Casual inclusiveness!

BONG! Government proposes to cut tourist visas to three months from six for non-EU visitors, to prevent people "overstaying their welcome." Obvious analogies with unpopular decade-old government not drawn.

BONG! In related news, it appears that learner-driver records have gone the other way, and are overstaying their welcome in the United States, having gone missing from a "secure facility" in Iowa. We don't make this shit up, you know.

BONG! TUC making grumbling noises about "pay caps" and claims government is on a "collision course with six million public servants." Not in digitised disc form, either.

BONG! The public affairs committee reckons the honours process needs to be "more transparent", and confirms that bears do, indeed, sha-la-la in the woods.

BONG! Illegal immigrants suffering "dehumanising" treatment at Heathrow, which just goes to show they're like the rest of us after all.

BONG! John Smeaton honoured by Queen. Irony of yesterday's story about violence in Scotland not lost on Westmonster.

BONG! And Witney Conservative Party? We're looking at you. And that seven grand in dodgy donations. And who's your local MP again? Ah yes. D Cameron.
