Next month, when Guido’s lobby pass comes through, it could be even worse – assuming he is still around.
Guido turned up late to the Policy Exchange party on Monday, by the time he arrived the speeches were over and Basher Davis was very merry. He had just meandered over from the Institute of Economic Affairs’ clashing party. How did he find the way? “He went left, left, left…” In the circumstances Guido still felt it prudent to stay well out of the reach of his clunking fist.
Before regular readers complain about the lack of totty shots you should know that Guido was accosted by various gorgeous young ladies who berated him about previous totty watch editions. Such was the level of intimidation that Guido didn’t dare risk being battered to death with a Chloé handbag.
These were sent in by an anonymous co-conspirator.
Konrad:
- During the 2005 election campaign when you went up to the Normanton constituency to help Ed Balls’ election campaign, were you still being paid by the Smith Institute?
- Was it in your capacity as “events coordinator” for the Smith Institute that you blew up balloons for Balls?
- Who does actually pay your salary? The salary sums don’t add up.
Isn’t it odd that a public charity, subsidised by the taxpayers through the treasury, refuses to answer questions about funding?

Andrew Porter in this morning’s The Sun has a great exclusive. At last week’s congress of European Socialist parties in Portugal, Prezza had a 5 minute slot for his speech. Unfortunately he had prepared a ten minute speech. Instead of chopping it, he decided to deliver it at double-speed.
The oratorical strain proved too much for the translators and his false teeth, one of which flew out of his mouth to the amusement of the audience who struggled not to laugh as he persisted with his speech.

I am sure hon. Members in all parts of the House will agree that today’s challenges are very different from those of 100 years ago. In the 19th century and early 20th century, most premature deaths were due to infectious illnesses, often striking people down in infancy or in the prime of life. In 1854, 600 people died from cholera caught from the infected water of the Broad street pump in London. But times change and the challenges are different today. We are living longer, so the diseases of middle life and old age are more pertinent now than they were 100 years ago.
Thanks to the investment by this Government, we have made changes that are improving public health. Life expectancy has continued to increase both for males and for females in England as a whole, and for those living in communities with the worst health and deprivation.
