    haha a few minutes earlier Cameron said something like all Governments suffer protest votes in by-elections, so was this a case of the Coalition protesting against itself…?!

    Gove actually came across OK on Five Live today saying that people are fed up with politicians spinning everything and it was a disaster. Hallelujah.

      That signals two things.

      1. Gove will go missing this afternoon.

      2. Cameron’s basement will have a newly-concreted floor by tomorrow morning.

Andrew Pierce on Ed Balls…

“Porky Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls sweet-talked guests at a fund-raising dinner by saying if he wasn’t a politician, he would be a chef. That’s not surprising, since he was accused of cooking the Treasury books when he was Gordon Brown’s boot boy.”



UKIP Official Policy Dept says:

Bloody foreigners, coming over here taking all our twitter followers
