Holiday arrangements starting a week on Monday I’ve going to be away Andalucia for two and half weeks and won’t be taking my lap-top though I will still have my tablet and phone. Unlike previous holidays there will be no stand-in editor. We have found that it is just too big a task for someone who also has to work. The site will still operate driven mostly by continuation threads and things that have been set up in advance. @MikeSmithsonOGH…

Has it all been a terrible mistake? Today’s my 66th birthday and, as no doubt it will be hard to avoid today, the second anniversary of that Tuesday in May 2010 when Gordon Brown, Sarah and his two children left Number 10 for the last time as PM. It is also the second anniversary of Dave as prime minister and, of course, the creation of what all seemed so positive then, the coalition. Looking back to those heady days I…

Is the Labour leader now looking like a winner? Earlier in the week the Speccie’s Fraser Nelson yesterday summed up neatly the Tory view of the next general election:- “Much of the Cameroon’s re-election hopes are pinned on the idea that their boss will trounce the geeky Ed Miliband. Nowadays, the argument goes, these ex-special advisers who have no charisma and alarming leftist policies just don’t win modern elections.” That view might have had some merit before George Osborne’s budget…
This is how Marf describes her drawing:- In the cartoon, Cameron’s been struggling to rewrite the Queen’s Speech all night …. With Europe, Greece and France swinging to left and hovering in a sinister way, and Boris and Nick Clegg (the cat wearing the yellow tie) staring, taunting. Honestly it couldn’t be the easiest time for Cameron. I have him dressed as an eighteenth-century gentleman because his Bullingdon dress still evokes so much about his character and outlook – hard…
Is 6/4 a good value bet? Ladbrokes has a bet at 6/4 that an MP will defect to UKIP before the general election. It looks like a reasonable punt. The problem for potential MP defectors is that UKIP has never even come within a whisker of winning a Westminster seat and the chances of holding on at a general election must be low. So a potential defector would have to factor in losing both their job and parliamentary salary. As…
