Sorry to spoil it for those attending the ceremony tonight. Can’t figure out why. Two sources confirm. Wonder if that rumour about Dylan Jones wanting a seat is true…

UPDATE : Mail on Sunday’s Susanne Moore tweets similar thoughts from the venue.

First things first, if you want to message use @guidofawkes. Better still, use email.  Ben Brogan has joined Twitter.  God knows why, suspect it might be something to do with Paul Waugh claiming Twitter-lead “scoops“.

How many million did the Telegraph lose last year? Don’t you have a paper to write Ben?

You ain’t gonna tweet your way to profitability…

All the pro-politics political junkies are getting worked up about the idea that vote counting and results might be delayed until the next day (Friday) after the election.  They like all the drama.  What a waste of money and time.  Lets save all the hassle, save all the cost, get the result accurate and in a timely fashion by having an electronic count.  Election night will be saved, and it will all be done on the night with the result will be known the minute the polls close.

It is the 21st Century, we don’t need rooms full of people miscounting the vote, lets go digital and get it over with by 10.01.  The night would be for celebration, commiseration and sleeping, rather than voter slip counting into the early hours…

Dale, Isaby, Harris and Pickles just like the drama.  The rest of us just want the result, the faster the better…

Dave is promising pay cuts for ministers, an end to taxpayer subsidised food and booze in the restaurants and bars at Westminster. Cutting back on ministerial limos, cutting the number of MPs by 10%, as well as ending the heavily abused and anti-democratic £10,000 communications allowance given to incumbent MPs.

Guido particularly welcomes the move to get MPs to pay market rates for their beer. Why should they pay half the price for a pint that Guido pays in the Westminster Arms on the other side of Parliament Square, subsidised by taxpayers? Cry into your subidised beer parliamentarians while it lasts…

This blog is 5 years old this week.  If Cameron delivers on this, it will have all been worth it.

Don’t know why he is getting such a warm welcome.  At one time, if Guido recalls correctly, Sir George Young employed both his wife and daughter on the  parliamentary payroll.  Hired on merit no doubt.

Just the man to reform all those MP’s fiddles..
