Editorial Intelligence in association with Sky News are inviting a Mumsnetter to attend a panel and group discussion, which will be podcast.

Here's a pdf of the invite so you can see the date/location/panel etc (which includes Helena Kennedy, Norman Baker and Derek Wyatt).

Please throw your names/nominations into the hat. We'd want whoever goes to blog or twitter, or something suitably modern, about the proceedings. It's next Wed, so it needs to be decided fairly swiftly.

Why do they want someone though? Is it to represent the Voice of the People?

PW deserves it, G20 aside, for the use of a brilliant analogy.

Another vote for policywonk. She is such a good representative for MN.

(Really? I haven't met him, no. I saw him walking down Lewes High St once. How do you know him?)

PW have you met Norman Baker? I can assure you that one face to face conversation will cure you of any adulation. Really. He is one of those people who is sooooo much better on paper.

What is this - a seat on the panel or in the audience?

policywonk · 15/05/2009 16:25

I know it's cheeky, but I'd love to do this if you're still looking for someone. I know I've had a plum from MN already, but I'm as permanently up-for-it as a 15-year-old schoolboy with a lingerie catalogue. Plus, Norman Baker is a big hero of mine and I'd like to get the chance to lick his face.

Oh jeez would DIE to do this except for the fact I can't do it next week.

Would it involve being able to punch Hazel Blears? I might be able to rearrange specially for her...

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 15/05/2009 16:05

Surely Policywonk?

Or is she in trouble after swearing at Justine....heeee
