Michael Gove to Leveson:

“By definition, free speech doesn’t mean anything unless some people are going to be offended some of the time.”

Professor Tim Bale of Sussex University notes:

“Communist Party of Britain’s income in 2011 was £122,246. Its expenditure? £128,039. Not sure if it met the shortfall by borrowing or cuts.”

Kay on the Boys

Sky’s resident older lady Kay Burley spent most of her interview with the Telegraph’s infamous Bryony Gordon comparing notes:

“Oh, Chuka Umunna is very hot. So if he wants to give me a ring… Oh, he’s old enough. And Andy Burnham. He’s another politician I fancy… Dominic Raab. He is very good looking.”

Though hard luck boys, apparently she will never date a politician. She didn’t rule out climbing the greasy pole herself though – apparently she wants to become a councillor…

Ken’s Blind €ye

It is the demand of a few right-wing journalists and a few extreme nationalist politicians” say Ken Clarke of an EU referendum. Those extreme nationalist politicians like Zac Goldsmith? Or how about those well know right-wing journalist who ended up as Labour MPs like Ronnie Campbell, Rosie Cooper, Jon Cruddas, John Cryer, Natascha Engel, Roger Godsiff, Tom Harris, Kate Hoey, Kelvin Hopkins, George Howarth, Austin Mitchell and Keith Vaz?

They have all called for an In/Out vote.

One too many at the cricket yesterday Ken?

Tom Watson Goes On a Fishing Trip

Tom Watson is looking for MPs who have ever felt intimidated or upset by press coverage to come forward. Presumably his fellow expenses troughers and backstabbers will use this chance to try silence their critics once and for all:

Guido wonders how many MPs ever felt upset and intimidated by the behaviour of the pre-makeover Tom Watson…
