Media in the Morning
I don't think the nation has heard enough of me today (joke), so here's my media schedule in the morning...
7.10 BBC 1 Breakfast 7.40 BBC Radio London 8.10 Sky News Sunrise (with Polly Toynbee) 8.50 Today
I will bet that your Bank manager in Tumbridge Wells will be pleased at the cash flow (ie Fees from appearances) that is continuing to come in . Make the most of it, you will not be earning that amount until the next election in October
I think we may now have a summer of political chaos leading to a crisis in the autumn once it becomes apparent that the lib-lab pact (and possibly lib-con) pact cannot deliver the necessary cuts.
Iain, a point you might like to consider. If PR had been in place for the GE I doubt that Labour would have won the number of seats in Scotland that they did. Look at the results of the Scottish Elections - it's not an accident that we have an SNP Goverment up here. It's only the FPTP that makes Scotland look so Labour. We're really more evenly split than the FPTP results show.
It is becoming clear that Clegg is "negotiating" with his hands tied behind his back. Half is party won't go with the Cons and the other half won't go with Lab. So Clegg can't deliver anything.

Toynbee at 8.10 in the morning......you obviously have a stronger stomach than me..
Iain, any chance you can make sure Polly Toynbee is placed in a hermetically sealed chamber for the next 10 years?
Only joking, I know a lot of people regard her as a bit of an institutation. Or was that should be put in an institutation?
Give Toynbee a hard time, please.

The markets will be getting tetchy tomorrow.

Polly Toynbee - uck - you certainly earn your fee
Polly is taking a lot of Murdoch shillings recently, no?
What RJF said - give her a wake up wedgie please. What she has put into the Graun this morning is pure stupidity.
Saw you on Sky, Iain,
You did well.
However couldn't the interviewer give you equal time with the dreaded Polly?
Also, why does he have to be so incredibly rude as to not even get your name/blog correct.
I am afraid that this partisanship by the broadcasters is getting too much.

Iain,
Sorry to see that your team's owners have cleggitis and sacked Zola. You may get a mclaren/Sven coalition.
you did well up against Toynbee.
It is becoming clear that Clegg is "negotiating" with his hands tied behind his back. Half is party won't go with the Cons and the other half won't go with Lab. So Clegg can't deliver anything.
