Where had we got to? We'd agreed that we all love Cameron, right?

Did that to me earlier ISNT and it worked again when I closed and reloaded the page.

Loving the Parlimentary Math (altho not so much the figures). Someone give David a coloured peg-board.

thetoriesaretoast · 10/05/2010 20:40

ahundredtimes, more party details, please! Did everyone get pissed or was it all very civilised with lots of discussion of Marxist politics?

theyoungvisiter · 10/05/2010 20:45

tdiddy - you thought I was some kind of twitter thing?!?!!?

[splutters]

[words fail me]

Haven't you been hanging on my pearls of wisdom? Here's me quoting you all over and nodding at your every word and you thought I'm some kind of twitter thing. I am saddened.

(also may I take this opportunity to note that like Anne of Green Gables, I am Visiter spelled with an "E". But I can spell. Mostly.)

It has been a long time since I have felt empathy for a PM

AppleTreeWick · 10/05/2010 20:50

tum te tum I'm back and have mostly calmed down (been off talking about/researching fish, very calming fish).

I shall I think split my time between fish (tropical not alien) and your good selves.

I have also changed my status and therefore removed myself from impeeding our adoption of the Meerkats.

Fuck Michael Cain is on the Daily SHow NOW

curlyredhead · 10/05/2010 20:50

John Reid has made a very strong statement against Lib Lab coalition - he's on News 24 reiterating the points now.

That Adam Boulton link was hilarious

Gosh, I wonder what he voted? Nothing like non-partisan coverage, is there.

Thanks for the Adam Boulton link. Totally unbiased wasn't he? What a five star tosser.

taffetacat · 10/05/2010 21:18

Just watched the longer version of the Boulton/Campbell spat.

Unbelievably unprofessional. Lets be generous and put it down to lack of sleep.

Nymphadora · 10/05/2010 21:24

Am now following mmelindt & sarahbrown on Twitter. Have 11 friends apparantly but can only see those

policywonk · 10/05/2010 21:28

Love the Fiona Millar story. She is a Good Woman.

Absolutely agree Beach re. GB's international development stuff. He's a hero in that community if nowhere else... have been speaking (work stuff) to staff from various development agencies over the last few months and they are generally cacking themselves at the thought of what the Tories would do in DFID.

ImSoNotTelling · 10/05/2010 21:29

I'm off to bed

Night lefties, and see you tomorrow for the next exciting instalments

TDiddy · 10/05/2010 21:30

theyoungvisiter - please accept my unreserved apology...but your name is so iconic that I assumed that you were some sort modern medium

DavidHameron · 10/05/2010 21:30

Twitter is talking about Boultongate now. He may have broken some Ofcom rule about 'expressing personal opinions' or summat.

Oh please please let him and Burley get a financial slapping for Murdoch.

animula · 10/05/2010 21:30

Yikes! @ election in 5/6 months! I think that will be hard for even Labour to fund. Let alone Libs, Greens, etc.
