    I see Tom Harris confirms the general thought that 6th May 2010 is the date of the next GE:

    If, on Friday 7 May 2010, we awake to pictures of a smiling GB and Sarah going into No. 10. I of course disagree that Brown and Labour will win! That is Labour arrogance for you!

    Anyone taking bets as to whether Dolly gets dragged off to the fuuny farm by Monday?

    £10 says he's in a soft room by Sunday midnight

    I've just been over at draperlist.

    I think he might be mental.

    Tut tut. Naughty Mr Draper's exhorting - nay, demanding - that you stop linking to Guido's blog. What a bloody cheek. Think it would be a fantastic use of taxpayer's money to either send him to a soft-walled establishment, pay for etiquette lessons or at least teach him how to reason from cause to effect and differentiate between themes. (Now, Dolly, the CRB and racism are unrelated.)

    Dolly's post on DraperList is hilarious. It's like a car crash in slow motion.

    I have never seen someone so inept, so wrong about how the internet works.

    Labour must surely dis-associate themselves from him PDQ?

    I think the Leeds Risdale analogy is very apt
