Yes, not one of Mr Dales's greatest scoops. If they were going to have a 'Granita moment', the Members' Dining Room hardly seems the venue of choice.

Someone passed me a free copy of Total Politics last week. I gave it to my son to take in for his A-level Politics class. God knows what they've made of it.

Bob, I'm in awe of your patience and persistence. It seems that, not only do you sometimes read some of the comments that Newmania churns out on your blog, you also still read Mr Dale's tedious blog. I find that the latter is rather like the Archers, I need sample it only once every quarter or so to know exactly what's going on it in - i.e. the square root of sod all...

It was just the kind of story to interest the editor of Total Bollocks from the owner of Total Politics. I think Iain Dale missed the opportunity. However, I might be interested in selling him the domain name...

Sod off Hughes ( trite and self satisfied) Views you say nothing because you have nothing to say. Its symmetrical I grant you .

Up there with Dale's 'scoop' that he spotted Lord Levy talking to someone once.Ah the power of bloggers. What next from Daley- "my dog did a turd that resembled Hazel Blears?"

Incidentally, Dale was on radio 5 this afternoon bemoaning the current media trend to dig into politicians (I think he meant Tory politicians) backgrounds. That's the thing once you start playing that game, the media has a habit of looking at your side too.Why the F do radio still insist on calling Dale a political blogger...he's a Tory hack...

Newmania, do you actually live here? Isn't Dale's piss poor blog exciting enough for you?

yes up there with Malcolm Powers,and his three nipples(see janestheone)plotting away in the South east...

that's why I don't recycle my subscription copies of The Speccie, New Statesman and Prospect - can't be arsed taking the wrapping off.
