Marr’s production people are more persistent at pestering Guido than Marr himself is with his guests. Nevertheless Guido declined their invitations. So you’ll just have to make do tomorrow with Iain Dale on their political blogging special.

Strangely they turned down Guido’s generous counter-offer to direct and produce a 5 minute look at why the Lobby/BBC lets us down, and how bloggers are performing a necessary service to democracy.

Guido suspects that they would much rather record and edit the footage to fit their agenda. Guido would rather “frame” them.
