Don’t forget to catch up on today’s media news, as Scrapbook‘s Prezza conspiracy theories unravelled and Guido revealed the bitch fight of the the week.
Only over on Media Guido…
NBC‘s Dave Wyllie and Neal Mann of the Wall Street Journal square up:
@journodave it's not exactly for your benefit is it though

@journodave that's a ridiculous thing to say, we understand the law others with bigger followings than papers circulations don't, so helpful

Matthew Elliott has stood down as Chief Executive of the perennially sound Taxpayers’ Alliance after eight years at the helm. He will be replaced by current TPA Director Matthew Sinclair.
A worthy successor…
The ever irritating, yet strangely compelling, Matthew Oakeshott has spent the week trying to big-up his mate Vince Cable and a change in economic direction. Guido was particularly interested by one policy in his all-solving Plan A+:
“That’s why I’ve been saying we need a bold plan A+, making banks lend, especially RBS, the bank we own but disgracefully don’t control, and a firm government commitment to create 500,000 new jobs in construction by doing whatever it takes to build 100,000 more homes a year.“
Does this have anything to do with the fact that the good Lord has a small fortune relying on home construction as a property speculator? The petulant peer is the “joint investment manager” at OLIM Investments’ Value Income Trust and the chairman of OLIM Property, investment firms which make their money from – you guessed it – building homes. Very Tim Yeo…
