Checking Guido’s email inbox I spy something from Iain Dale, Basher’s chief-of-staff. Oooh, could be a bit of gossip from my old friend…

No, its a recommendation to buy David Butler’s British General Election of 2005, sent by Iain from Politicos.co.uk. I thought he’d resigned from Politicos to concentrate on the Davis campaign. Has the campaign’s post-conference reorganisation given him more time to spend with his books?
