News reaches me that tomorrow's Smith Institute seminar titled TOWARDS A NEW CONSTITUTION has sadly had to be moved out of their normal home billet of Number 11 Downing Street to the rather less impressive premises of the Royal United Services Institute. The stellar lineup of speakers include Jon Snow, Peter Riddell, Jack Straw and Lady Shephard. One does indeed hope that the speakers were enough to attract an audience, rather than the address. No reason has been given for the change of plan. Perhaps Number Eleven is needed for some sort of coronation? Hattip for graphic to Theo Spark.

Or perhaps the Funking Cyst is nervous about breaching the charitable status of the Sith Institute. A (rather late) Damscene coversion?
some sort of coronation?
No, funeral. A body has been discovered frozen into a characteristic pose, feverishly chewing the fingernails of one hand while the index finger of the other has been firmly inserted into...
Clearing Number 11 for
"an Independent Enquiry into the decision making process in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq"
to be announced within 3 days of getting into No 10 in another "Bank of England" moment that will be loved by the BBC.
No matter that Strangely Brown was involved in the decision making process. If Cabinet members can get away with appearing on picket lines to protest against their own policies then Strangely Brown can absolve his sins this way.
And in one leap he will be free, well Strangly Brown at least whilst Blair will be covered in it.
Will there be a rare sighting of the dour one?
An estimated three million people lined the streets of London to catch a glimpse of the new monarch as he made his way to 10 Downing Street from 11 Downing Street in the golden state coach.
The ceremony was watched by millions more around the world as the BBC set up their biggest ever outside broadcast to provide live coverage of the event on radio and television. Street parties were held throughout the UK as people crowded round television sets to watch the ceremony.

Each brandishing their tax return and a noose.

Will Gordon be there? Here in Scotland we're waiting for our first sighting since May the 3rd and the loss to the SNP by one seat in Holyrood.
Make sure you let us know.
It's simple
Big Fisting Gordo in hiding with the keys to number 11.
No one can get in.
Change of venue
A bit unfair on RUSI, I'd say. Quite an impressive building, both inside and out (though I've never been invited to No.11).
