Love the ConHome 18 year old Chairman. Madness.

Iain, take a look at TrueBlueBlood. He makes a great point on the new 4,000 applicants to be a Conservative MP. He compares a midwife to you---which is a great comparison, as you know politics inside out and a midwife, is, as TBB calls is part of the 'Saint Squad'.

Also enjoyed the letter to John Redwood urging him to stand for the Director role at the IEA. makes sense to me.

Worthy of a link Iain :)

Wasn't Finkelstein implicated in the outing of Nightjack? If so, I say "Total boycott". NJ will be suffering the ramifications of that selfish act for years, maybe decades. Because he had the cheek to tell the truth in a society of liars, cheats and dissemblers.

So, Iain, is it DAILY or DALEY dozen? You've always called it Daley before (as in the .jpg you use) but today your headline says Daily. I think it ought to be Daily - but if I'm wrong, then what is the reason for calling it Daley? Thanks

It's a pun on "Dale"...
