Commentating on PMQs on Sky News Tonight
I am doing the commentary on Sky News PMQs programme tonight at 9.30pm with Adam Boulton, if you'd like to tune in. My left of centre counterpart will be The Independent's Andy McSmith.
unrelated to this post, but is it just me or recently has this site started going blank if u leave it sumtimes, except for the header? it's definitely not just my computer coz it does the same thing on computers at school :S
Donnatella, someone else said that too. What exactly happens? It works OK on my computer, but if there are problemsI need to try to work out how to fix them.
My computer does the same thing. It seems that whenever my mopuse is pointing over one of the floating boxes that gives information is the catalyst for it going blank
Oh dear Iain. Do you help your chances of making the A-list or do you tell the truth? By far Cameron's worst showing to date. Does Blair have him sussed-out?
The "floating boxes" are I think the little envelope symbols at the bottom of your posts - yes there is indeed a problem there.
I am having the same problem, if you move your mouse over comments/email the page goes blank and you have to click on refresh. Also when scrolling down the page it is very slow and jumpy.
I'll be interested to hear what you say tonight Iain. It's all back to Punch and Judy now of course, but Tony does seem to have checked Dave on the flip-flop front. He needs a new line.
It wasn't DC best PMQs but it was not the diaster portrayed by Assinder on the BBC s website.If you have 7-8 examples of Blair flip-flopping you should be able to flatten Mcsmith. The diappearing of your blog didn't occur this afternoon
Aw, :-(, thats means you're arn't going to be at the Conservative Black and White Ball tonight then. Was rather looking forward to telling you how much I enjoy your blog. Never mind, I'll save my compliment for another day.
Well what a lot of helpful advice I've received! Bulldog, i thought yours was particularly helpful and constructive. Not! What some people don't seem to have realised is that I go on these programmes, not as a Tory Party representative but as a right of centre pundit. So I will hopefully call it as it is. I've already sent in my marks out of 5!
Iain, Cameron got hammered today and rightly. Against the Iraq war? Eh? Tell that to the Majors in the Shires. A Liberal Conservative? Bloody hell, boring and wishy washy.
All the sheen is wearing a bit thin now. The second Blair resigns the spin backlash will start. Most of it coming from Brown's team. Cameron's out Blairing of Blair will leave him cornered against a renewed politician branded as "authentic".
What are you Tories so ashamed of? If you acted like Tories and stuck to Tory values people might vote for you.
Your blog is brilliant, but no one belives this stuff "I go on these programmes, not as a Tory Party representative but as a right of centre pundit". Who are you trying to kid?
Just worked out that if you approach the comments hyperlink from underneath rather than the side it doesn't go blank. I don't quite know how to fit that into a joke about the lib dem leadership campaign, but I am sure there ought to be a way. Anyway, it's meant to be a helpful suggestion when it comes to solving a problem which has affected me too with the screen going blank.

ReplyDeleteHamish, what do you mean by "floating boxes"?
ReplyDeleteOh dear Iain. Do you help your chances of making the A-list or do you tell the truth? By far Cameron's worst showing to date. Does Blair have him sussed-out?

It's the things that pop up and say '12th Most Popular Link'. I think.
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested to hear what you say tonight Iain. It's all back to Punch and Judy now of course, but Tony does seem to have checked Dave on the flip-flop front. He needs a new line.
ReplyDeleteI have now deleted the Outgoing Links section down the side. Has this rectified things?
ReplyDeleteShireen Ritchie will be watching!
ReplyDeleteSuggested comment for tonight...
ReplyDelete"It'd never have happened under David Davis!"
;o)

Good news Iain - the Sky News anchor has just described you as 'Conservative MP Iain Dale'! She's clearly a farsighted individual!
