Ken Swills Champagne at Boris Bashing Book Launch

To the Corinthia Hotel for the launch of Sonia Purnell’s Just Boris, the unauthorised, but probably pretty intriguing, bio of the mayor. Who should walk in, but a man that used to go by that name…

“We’re going to go through it for every nugget we can find” Ken told a co-conspirator before grabbing a glass of champagne. “Right I’m off to find the Labour bloggers”, he said as he disappeared towards the tie-less section of the crowd…

Ed Should Back the In/Out Referendum

A debate in Parliament has been scheduled for the October 27, to discuss whether or not to have an In/Out referendum on the EU. Since all three of the major parties sold out on this promise, a remarkable effort has been made by the likes of the cross-party groups such as the People’s Pledge. If the Liverpool Question Time audience a few weeks back that was openly booing the forty million pounds a day we pour down the EU drain, this could be a tense few weeks. Watch and weep as MPs of all colours line up to tell us that they know best and that such decisions should be taken by them, with the help of the infinite wisdom…

Though we all know that Red Ed is grubby statist at heart and painfully pro-European, he is also a shameless opportunist. If he really wanted to make an impact with ordinary, hard-working, sensible voters he should back the calls for the referendum. It would distance himself from lies of Brown and Blair over the issue and the betrayal of “cast iron” Cameron. What does he have to lose?
