Iain, what is your predict for the Norwich North by election result?
ReplyDeleteI have already cast my postal ballot for the Green PPC.
I posted it earlier this morning on the Managing expectations thread.
ReplyDeleteOK I will take a look at that thread now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
ReplyDeleteI know it's the wrong link, but; Welcome back Iain, really missed you old chum...
ReplyDeleteBack on form and hot to trot!
Yours Aye,
Ex Bootneck.
I notice that Canvas comes back. And that moderation has to be reinstated.
ReplyDeleteCoincidence. I am sure.
I believe I have discovered why there seems to be an increase in trolling on your blog lately by anonymous commenter's.
ReplyDeleteGuido is on holiday so they have decided to migrate here and post insults and other useless rubbish.
Alot has been written about the helicopters. I've read a lot BUT I can't find in any major paper yesterday how many helicopters Gordon said we had. Did he just not mention it at the conference? I seem to remember Reading we had 10 chinooks. Is that the right? It seems like it is not enough.
ReplyDeletewe need a mcbride comeback,just like mandy,to keep reminding the public what these people are like.
ReplyDeleteso lets have a come back campaign?
Purnell for future Labour leader Iain???
ReplyDeleteA life long supporter of the Conservative party was lying on his death bed when he suddenly decided to join the Labour party.
ReplyDelete"But why?" asked his puzzled friend, "You're Tory through and through… Why change now?"
The man learned forward and explained, "Well, I'd rather it was one of them that died and not one of us."
Your political myths.
ReplyDeleteA new one (and I know it’s not British). Sarah Palin said “I can see Russia from my house” has now gained real currency. It was of course Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live.
Re Purnell at GQ:
ReplyDeleteIt's such a shame he has tried to destroy the British welfare state, and has made almost no effort to come top terms with his working class constituents.
He is among the works examples of the 'parachuted in' New Labour politicians who have betrayed the fundamental ethos of the party.
Any chance that the June 4th reporters might see their "daley dozen" mentions at some point?
ReplyDeleteJust asking... ; )
Good choices.
ReplyDeleteI would have added Trueblueblood's piece on a Parliament of Millionaires and mediocrity.
Iain you may not have read it but suggest you have a look. Maybe link to it today? I share these concerns on the quality of our MP's as Parliament cleanses itself.
Loving Paul Waugh at the moment.
