Eddie Mair | 08:46 UK time, Friday, 21 November 2008

Jennifer, me, Ryan the editor and Lee the technical genius, will be broadcasting live from the home of a listener for iPM. It's not so far from the office, and upon reflection we should maybe have gone here, but we think we'll have fun anyway.

    This interactivity nonsense is even worse than I thought: my comment (1) has been pinched for today's newsletter!

    Bad enough that we are padding out PM's editorial and making iPM for the BBC... I draw the line at writing the bally newsletter as well!

    Who'd like to join me in a delegation to the BBC Trust seeking a discount on our licence fee for froggers, in recognition of our contribution to the output and the overall excellence of Radio 4?

    Cooeee ... Eddie lammy-pie,
    Alright, flower . . . . listen I've just finished doing Bikram Yoga. It's yoga in 45-degree heat for 90 minutes . . .not kidding - - - sweat, sweat, sweat, very good for the mind as well as the body, believe me. Hey Eddie, why don't you and Nils make a record? I see Sir Terry and Aled have. With a bit of luck they'll knock that Simon Cowal bloke off the Christmas number one slot. Still, I'd like to see you and Nils on Top of the Pops, you could sing about numbers or something. ;0)

    Laters,
    LMP

    Fifi, you'd better change your nom-de-frog; they all rely on you far too much. And the strapline! Actually, no, I think they should pay you a fee (or should that be a fi?)

    Vyle: I think he's being down wiv da kidz. Maybe it's a clue - I bet they're all going round to his niece's and nephew's place cos he promised to babysit and forgot about iPM.

    Frances (6) : If I got paid a double fee, say because my ratings were so enormous, would that be a Fifififi?

    Dear Eddie

    The proposed VAT cut is another labour con.

    VAt is a tx on spending and if you haven't got the money you can't spend it.

    Given that VAT is not on essentials like food there is no real gain for the tax payer

    A VAt cut is simply labour saying "we have cut a Tax. Yet, it doesn't put money in the pockets for the tax payer.

    Better to be bold and cut income tax boldly, say raising the threshold by say £2000 or to a level where people actually think its worth going out to work, then do away with tax credits. With money in their pocket people might go out and spend it!
