Third year Oxford PPE student and Israeli citizen Eylon Aslan-Levy saw Galloway’s true colours last night. He stormed out of the debate at Christ Church College on the grounds that his opponent was an Israeli. “Respect…”
Meet Glynn Davies-Dear, the weirdy-beardy former LibDem mayor of Eastleigh who has jumped ship to UKIP ahead of next-week’s by-election.
“Why did I leave the LibDems? I left in disgust at the lies and the broken promises. The Liberal Democrats no longer care about the people, they only care about themselves.”
Former LibDem councillor Andy Moore has also crossed the divide this afternoon. Ouch.
UPDATE: Amusingly he appears on a leaflet for Maria Hutchings.
@WikiGuido @GuidoFawkes But also features on the Tory leaflet for Maria Hutchings: ow.ly/i/1ylXs—

An absolutely damning assessment of Dave and George’s broken promises from the Taxpayers’ Alliance this morning. “No plans to increase VAT”, VAT increased to 20%. “The next Conservative government will increase the inheritance tax threshold to £1 million”, inheritance tax limit frozen. What ever happened to the Conservatives?
You can see why Huhne didn’t fancy listening to them in the dock…
Some pretty brutal headlines for Huhne this morning. Well done to Channel 4 News for digging out this old footage of his tough stance on crime and punishment:
99 criminals out of every 100 get away with it apparently. He is the 1%…
“Are you going to resign Mr Huhne?” Well, yes.
Some excellent investigative journalism out of Serbia, as one TV journalist decides to deploy her most basic journalistic instincts:
His face…
Best question of the day…
Not a bad response from the PM to Galloway either:
“Wherever there is a brutal Arab dictator, he can always count on support of George Galloway…”

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…
“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”
” Evans, dear boy, Evans “
