Just to show that I’m even handed, I want to thank Liberal Democrat MP, Julia Goldsworthy. She has helped on a case for me and has been a star.

If ever you need a Cornish hedge Julia – Will Tremayne, Cornish Hedger, craftsman of the ancient technique of dry stone walling will give you a good price.

I’ve just looked at the YouGov poll. Labour:40% Conservative:39% Lib Dem:13%.

I typed these figures into the prediction model at electoral calculus and it gave the Lib Dems two seats. Alas, one of them was not Birmingham Yardley.

You reap what you sow.

An email from a respected Conservative colleague brings to the attention of the nation a website dedicated to saving the Radio 4 theme tune. When it comes to Radio 4, I’m as reactionary as the rest of the nation. I like the shipping forecast, complained when they tried to ditch “sailing by” and felt robbed when they tried to kill off the afternoon play. The morning medley though? It’s awful. Just awful. It’s too much for 5.30 in the morning. Why don’t they play something different each day? The Today programme could orgnaise a ballot for the playlist.
