Lost for Words...
I just phoned a Labour MP to ask him to come on our Special Budget Programme tomorrow evening and this was the response from his researcher.
Daughter going soon. Seems like a pretty good alternative engagement. Let's hope Dizzy doesn't run a story on the scandal of MPs visiting Auschwitz on Budget Day.
Invite John McDonnell on Iain - really - he was the bag man money wise for Ken's GLC and he has produced alternative budgets ...
He is a bit busy campaigning though NEC decision today for no contest if only G nominated may be a bit of a downer.
Am I getting this wrong? 'He's in Auschwitz'. Doing what exactly? Looking for hints and tips maybe?

I'm not completely paranoid (according to my medical notes), but I wouldn't put anything past New Labour.
The youth of today...

'I'm sorry, madam, he's in the United Kingdom.'
'Oh dear, that's terrible. Is it too late to send flowers?'
ah yes, working for NuLabour sets you free
