A Long Time in Politics

Saturday morning round-up

In pyjamas, on the sofa, with bacon sandwich. Who says politics can't be fun? So, this morning:

Tim Ireland continues his inspired campaign for stats honest from our leading political bloggers. Any usage of Spinal Tap is fine with us.

No question on the biggest news this morning: the revelation that John Prescott spent four grand on groceries as part of his expenses claim. See what they did there? Fat John, he spent money on food! Ha ha! As we've said all along, this is pure media bollocks, and Steve Richards agrees. Other expenses coverage: Sam Coates turns defence into attack, ePolitix, Coffee House, Benedict Brogan, Guardian, full statements from the Telegraph, Independent

Dave Hill's useful round-up of a bonkers week in the London Mayoral race. He thinks "Ken's undisclosed children" (copyright the Torygraph, coming over all HMRC) might work in his favour

BoJo's taken blow (also Mirror). Next!

Intriguing vignette of the day: Gordon Brown's gone through three different mobile phones because he keeps throwing them at the wall in anger.

Headline of the day: Ian McKellen met Gordon Brown at gay wedding. What are they implying?

Does anyone know why the holding page for PoliticsHome is counting down from 4,652 days? Is that the time until Iain Dale's next Nazi gag?
