In this week’s Guy News Guido sent Emily to branch out to poor abused Downing Street staffers, we are live from Steve Hilton’s Californian Kitchen and TB reports on a rather special date.

If you haven’t subscribed to the Guidogram, you’ll have to wait until next week…

There are two possible angles to this story, either the cutting edge digital Telegraph team is preparing an attack on Dave using social media to harvest information in the run up to the election. Or given it’s Friday and all, hacks have sunk to new lows in lazy attempts at sniffing out a story. So look out for some inane rumours and anecdotes about Dave’s early days in the next week – you know were they came from now. Heidi Blake looks like butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth, but perhaps she should have paused to think Dave’s old school chums might be a little more loyal than that.

While the limos may not be circling Parliament Square just yet, it is worth noting the intense speculation that something is up at Downing Street today. The polls are tightening, the recession figures could be spun well and Dave and co are off to the seaside for the spring forum that Labour couldn’t afford. Has Gordon been reading up on Wilson?

“Wilson would make his annual trip to see HMQ at Balmoral to coincide with the start of the Tory conference.  To disrupt proceedings at the seaside, Wilson would feed a few trusted journalists that he was seeking a dissolution.   It worked a treat. ”

Gordon’s has never recovered from the election-that-never-was in Autumn 2007 because he allowed the speculation to go on too long. The Tories are secretly praying he holds off until May, as are the media whose well planned agendas would have been a total waste of time. Bookies have stopped taking bets on March 25th. If Gordon doesn’t make a move to confirm or quell the hype it will be Bottler Brown all over again.

Wilson quote via Events Dear Boy Events.

The ONS have revised the Q4 growth figure from a sickly 0.1% to a meagre 0.3%. An improvement but still nothing to be cheery about. What this figure does do though is decrease the chances that on 23rd April Britain will officially be back in a recession. Much of the speculation about an early election was based on this news, the final nail in Brown’s coffin would be a double dip announcement in the last weeks of an election campaign. The odds on an early election were slashed last night, but this news is good for those holding out that the election will be 6th May.
