WATCH: Mrs Mad Al’s Clueless on Labour Schools Policy
Mad Alastair Campbell might have scuppered his other half’s chances of making it as an MP, though in all honesty she probably had that covered by herself. Left-wing education campaigner Fiona Millar says she hasn’t got a clue what Labour’s schools policy is. Hardly a glowing reference from the worst MP Hampstead never had…
Spot the Difference
‘A Million Jobs’, Nick Clegg’s new campaign to create a million more private sector jobs, particularly focusing on young people, launched today:
And ‘Million Jobs’, the campaign launched six months ago by 23-year-old Lottie Dexter, aiming to find jobs for the one million young unemployed adults in Britain:
Where could Nick have possibly got his inspiration?

Blair Denies Wendi Deng Affair Rumour
The Hollywood Reporter were given a very carefully worded response when they called up Blair’s office this morning:
“If you are asking if they are having an affair, the answer is no.”People have, surely somewhat unfairly, remarked on the use of the present tense…
Hacked Off Break Parliamentary Lobbying Rules
Who would have thought that Hacked Off, the lobbyists granted private access to Downing Street and given a sofa in Ed Miliband’s office during the crucial press regulation talks, could have possibly broken parliamentary lobbying rules? John Dickinson-Lilley, Hacked Off’s top lobbyist,failed to declare his position in the register of interests. Lord Low, who sponsors him for a pass, tellingly says “he has a pass courtesy of me but doesn’t work for me”. Until yesterday the register of interests had Dickinson-Lilley down as an employee of the charity Sense, which he left last year to join Hugh and co. Yet for some reason forget to mention his new job. Hacked Off not being completely transparent? Shocker.
Paul Tucker Leaves Bank of England
He says he’s off “to spend a period of time academia in the United States” after missing out on the top job to Mark Carney.What are the odds he goes to RBS then?
Labour Accuse Candidate of ‘Tower Hamlets-Style’ Stitch Up
Labour’s internal infighting in Enfield has taken a disturbing turn. Alev Cazimoglu, close ally of expenses piggy candidate hopeful Joan Ryan, has been suspended from the party’s candidates panel. Guido has seen a letter from Enfield Labour procedure secretary Tim Leaver accusing Cazimoglu of:
“financial inducements or inducements in kind offered to attempt to secure support” and “interfering with or putting under duress a member in regard to how they vote.”Local Labour sources tell Guido that the allegations involve Cazimoglu and Ryan plotting to ferry an elderly resident to a selection meeting and telling her which way to vote. They deny the allegations. Candidates have been warned:
“any candidates found speaking to members outside of shortlisting or selection meetings will be barred from the process. They are not allowed to ferry members to meetings or try to influence the way they vote.”One concerned local party veteran fears “it’s all gone a bit Tower Hamlets”. Surely one for Labour’s campaign coordinator to investigate…

Ed Leaves Room to Kill Tories on Europe
“Weak” is the word Tory spinners want their MPs to repeat over and over (and over) again this morning following Miliband’s decision to duck the EU referendum vote. One particularly jubilant CCHQ source tells Guido “we are literally punching the air”. They will want to be wary of complacency though. Ed may well look weak now, though when the dust had settled in the run up to 2015 he has left himself in a position where he can still kill the Tories on Europe.
It isn’t impossible that this is part of a coordinated strategy to overtake the Tories on the inside and pledge a referendum in 2015. It is certainly no coincidence that abstaining leaves Miliband room to do so, as the Labour For a Referendum campaign will be arguing for the next two years. Indeed one of James Wharton’s greatest fears has been that they would spring a surprise and ruin his fifteen minutes. Guido wouldn’t even rule out Labour and the LibDems turning up on Friday, July 5. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition…
