EU shadow over Cameron's US agenda
The timing is exquisite. While Conservative Cabinet ministers at home talk publicly about leaving the European Union, David Cameron in the United States will talk about how much it matters.
The prime minister is coming to the White House to make the case for a new EU-US trade deal, a free trade area that he says could mean £10bn a year to the British economy. He calls it a once-in-a-generation prize that could help build a more dynamic world economy.

And there is also the question of whether sharing the limelight with Nadine Dorries outweighed Nigel Farage's desire for a UKIP MP...

Nadine Dorries back. Not linked to UKIP defection fears, say Tories: she's done 6 months, apologised and there's a new session of parliament

Tories expecting 'grisly' poll result
Just bumped into a few very senior Tory figures and this is what they told me:
1. They are preparing for more than 350 losses at Thursday's local elections. "It is going to be very grisly," one said. Expectation management aside, that is getting into quite significant numbers.

The challenge for Greens
When Natalie Bennett was elected leader of the Green Party last year, she was nothing if not ambitious. The Australian journalist set out a clear aim that by the end of the decade the party should have elected representatives in every major city and town across England and Wales.
Next week's local elections will provide her with the first opportunity to start living up to that commitment.

An evening with Nigel Farage
Nigel Farage makes Tories sweat.
So I thought I would spend an evening with the UKIP leader to find out why. We had a quick chat over a pint and then I watched him perform at a public meeting in West Sussex.
