While You Were Sleeping

Here we go ag-Hain

Thought we'd found out about all of the undeclared Labour donations? Computer says no. Seems Mr. Hain failed to declare several donations from labour and business during his run for the deputy Labour leadership. So much for changing the subject.

News from the Lunatic Asylum

Elf you!

'Tis the season to be jolly, perhaps. But Westmonster thinks someone over at Tory Radio may have spiked Editor Jonathan Sheppard's fa-la-la-la-la with a bit too much la-la-la-la. Well I've finally got my Christmas cards posted, and to those of you who like virtual cards, I thought I'd give you… read more…

Failure to deliver

Okay, so what have we missed with this Mail on Sunday article entitled "Exclusive: Labour to launch inquiry into SECOND donor scandal"? We've read it through twice and as far as we can see it should actually be headed with "Nothing to see here, folks. Man who's entitled to legally… read more…

That Was The Week That Was

...and the Tories are back in town!

Gord digs in his heels

Westmonster is kicking herself at not keeping a running tally of how many times Brown used the word "vision."

When Pundits Get The Arse IX

BONG! Anyone else enjoying the sight of Adam Boulton stamping his feet, sulking, and refusing to come down for his tea over the fact that the Beeb got the exclusive interview with Brown?

The Sunday after the night before

Unsurprisingly the Sundays have had a bit of a last minute re-draft and are full of the PM's decision to call off a snap election. This has coincided with the YouGov poll that puts the Tories three points ahead, with the comrades dropping five points to 38. The Observer… read more…
