Why Vince is right and I support him
I was over in the House of Commons yesterday and bumped into three Labour MPs I have known for many years. Two of them were former Ministers -although not in the Cabinet - and all 3 have been around a long time. They had a laugh with me about the DCLG Select Committee which had taken place that day. I had, apparently, "been mauled by a kitten": their words not mine. Shapps - the thin half of the hilarious Laurel and Hardy duo at DCLG - is continuing with his anal obsession about other people's income by enquiring about the costs of the "Kemp operation!".

I Agree With Nick (Robinson, on this occasion)
BBC Political Editor Nick Robinson has written about the bugging and reporting of comments by Vince Cable by two Telegraph undercover reporters. Nick dismisses the revelations that some Lib Dems are not happy with all government policy, saying "the idea that Lib Dems are worried about child benefit and housing cuts would not come as a surprise to anyone who follows politics". Quite.
