Around conference season, in the dead of night, Labour quietly removed links to their deceased manifesto from the top of their website. It was replaced with the superfluous ‘Plan for Change’, and all links were shunted to the footer of the site where, presumably, they hope no one will bother to scroll down far enough to find.

In Henry Mance’s piece today for the FT, lunching with Nigel Farage:
“Splendido!” Farage says, when the drinks arrive; I suppose it’s a step to European reconciliation. We clink glasses, and he lights the first of two back-to-back Benson & Hedges. A few minutes later, we’re back downstairs. “Are you drinking? Good.” He orders a glass of Sauvignon blanc for each of us — not a bottle, “because it’s Lent” — followed by a bottle of claret, to have with our meal. They say Farage drinks less than he used to. They say a lot of things.”
