If you want to find out what happened when Emily Nomates confronted Charlie Whelan you’ll need to watch Guy News. Fair and balanced Emily also “Fact Checks” Guido’s pursuit of a familar foe.  Look out for the return of some old villains and a war-room briefing from the Conservative chairthumb, Eric Tickles, finishing up with musical cabaret show.

Peter Mandelson is becoming increasingly irritated with the unions stranglehold on Labour Party candidate selection process. Funnily enough they keep turning up their nose up at his friends. He has been looking for a safe seat for one of them since 2007 and Downing Street are pushing hard for control of the race to succeed outgoing Labour MP (and Old Etonian) Mark Fisher.

Guido isn’t sure a name like the Hon. Tristram Hunt is going to go down with the Unite paymasters never mind the voters of Stoke-on-Trent…

The Parliamentary Standards Commissioner has blown any idea that the Lib Dems were somehow above the fray of the expenses scandal right out of the water. In a serious knock to Clegg’s pious act, John Lyon declared that four Liberal Democrat MPs; Richard Younger-Ross, John Barrett, Sandra Gidley and Paul Holmes, were guilty of a “serious misjudgment” concerning dodgy rent agreements in the exclusive MPs dormitory block at Dolphin Square.  There is tumbleweed blowing through Liberal Democrat Voice.

Guido imagines some leaflets might need reprinting, luckily the Lib Dems have a way of dealing with that on the cheap…

Don’t really know what to make of the news that a TV company is searching for a Gordon Brown double.  Obviously it is just a temporary position until May 6…
