Blogging will be light on Friday (isn’t it always) because Guido will be in London for Xmas drinks and would love to see friends of the blog. He would particularly like to see new friends from the comments, like Stanislav, and may even stand you a drink. A gang of co-conspirators will be there and it will be very merry.

So if you would like an invite, email Guido.Fawkes@Order-Order.com. Sorry, no lawyers.

Guido will be identifiable in the fetching Guido Fawkes long-sleeve T-shirt available for delivery in time for Christmas* from here. The perfect £15 gift for Guido fans like Sir Michael White, Peter Hain, Liam Fox, Tom Watson and (they do a tailored ladies version) Melissa Kite.

UPDATE : Just confirming a venue. Will get back to you all shortly.
