Apocryphal, some might even say hysterical 3:40pm on 31 Oct 2009 I think we need a recap after this week of political turmoil, and I'm beginning to wonder just how much political fall out will actually happen in spite of Brown's intransigence

The MoD stuff has been rolling along for well over a month now, and it is becoming more and more vicious. Yet Bob Ainsworth seems to be wearing the protective equipment usually reserved for the troops. Meanwhile more die and become injured

The economy still appears broken despite attempts to talk it up, and the government has no answers to the problems created by the banks that they zombiefied

The Government seems to have got to the end of the road with the bond market such that it needs to realise some of those bank assets and is tempted to flog off the profitable part of Northern Crash, whilst Lloyds is bailing from the asset protection scheme

Postman Pat has sacked one of his advisers because his views don't chime with policy, but they can't counter his arguments in the papers

The CWU is still pulling out its workers and refusing to compromise at the negotiating table, and where is Mandy?

The expenses row rumbles on...and the thing I don't understand about the McNulty thing...I thought you weren't allowed to rent from relatives...is that unless you're from NuLabour? It was almost worth all the squirming from the former two homes secretary on QT, although she should pay back the money

All government eyes are upon Europe, and the domestic ball appears to have dropped...not to mention the Afghan one.

Our government declares European ideals and yet insults participants, duly elected by democratic process. Plus it goes against the majority of those voted into Europe by the recent elections who are euro sceptical

Brown must not like watching the 24 hour news from the bunker now because it has become worse than under Major. If anything goes wrong, the media is seeking an angle on government involvement so that they can collect the blame...and it just keeps on rolling

It does seem to have a momentum all of its own

...and the BBC...has pandered to all the non news
Apocryphal, some might even say hysterical 1:32pm on 30 Oct 2009 A debate about democracy would certainly fill much more than this blog

It is, however, preferable to the alternative
Apocryphal, some might even say hysterical 12:32pm on 30 Oct 2009 #154 a bit cryptic?
Over to you, Foreign Secretary 12:16pm on 30 Oct 2009 So, are we any further forward?

What does this say about the boy Millibland's stance?

Are you trying to say that Millibland played the race card to suit himself and for political advantage?

What organisations did the boy Millibland belong to before he passed through his education and became a member of the Labour Government?
Apocryphal, some might even say hysterical 09:27am on 30 Oct 2009 So Brown's tacit admission of support for Bliar has ultimately lead to the downfall of the campaign

I would like to know just what all this hoohaa has been covering up

What detail is being slid through, that this has been so high profile? and shame on the BBC for sucking up to the hype
Apocryphal, some might even say hysterical 9:36pm on 29 Oct 2009 I like this piece of Blair for EU president campaign

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/6456693/British-Legion-poster-defaced-to-attack-Tony-Blair.html
Changing Britain's relationship with Europe 7:01pm on 29 Oct 2009 To provide some balance Nick,

Can we have a list of all the names in the ring for this presidential job?

I find the whole, "vote TB" from the BBC far from balanced.
Apocryphal, some might even say hysterical 7:00pm on 29 Oct 2009 #141

BBC storyline...18.21

Mine 18.06

It has been in the blogosphere since 11.59 (Guido)

The BBC was probably too busy with the "elect TB" campaign
Apocryphal, some might even say hysterical 6:06pm on 29 Oct 2009 The Standard says that Nadine Dorries has received damages from Damian McBride over Smeargate

I come top the BBC for confirmation and nothing...I dare not put it on Nick's blog in case it is ruled off topic

Do you have the answer Andrew?

Not got the "This Week" email yet either...maybe the show is a biscuit short of a full box
Apocryphal, some might even say hysterical 1:52pm on 28 Oct 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8329583.stm

elsewhere on the BBC

Mission creep?

...and not even to be debated, just pushed through on a statutory instrument

Will it make it easier to seize the assets of this labour administration when they are removed from power and prosecuted?

Will our debt be paid by the seizure of Bliar's assets?
