We're looking for a Mumsnetter to represent us at a 'News Comment Special' about MPs' expenses

[GeraldineMumsnet]

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.

Surely Policywonk?

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

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...

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Truth be told, they invited me and I thought it would be much better to have one of you than me, to report back. Obviously PW was marvelous rep last time and despite her recent lapse we'd love her to go again, but if anyway else has a burning desire, do shout.

PW is good because she makes us look like we are a bunch of attractive babes

Oh I see, thanks for explaining. Well I think we should send PW again. I like her as our spokeswoman, she has elegant eyebrows and freckles. She is our dream MN everywoman.

Oi Lenin - I would have loved to go but tragically weds afternoons is my turn for the school run.

Vote Policywonk!

Recent lapse Where she forgot to ask David Milliband something or other?

Does anyone remember? No, we do not!

Or was it Ed Milliband?

Was she supposed to find out which Miliband he was perhaps?

I was thinking more when she called Justine a
tiny wanker

PW because she bought a special investigative nice raincoat...

Well I don't care who goes as long as they ask a question on my behalf

I'm an NHS employee - and I have a mortgage and am very busy - can I therefore submit a claim for my hanging baskets, portico and court summons safe in the knowledge that should I be found out it come to light I will be able to say 'ooops well never mind' and thus not be arrested for FRAUD and THEFT?

Although - looking at the thread title I'm wondering if this is a parliamentary matter at all? Might it not be Mumsnet towers' tactful way of telling Morningpaper to stop caning the expense account for extra rubbers and reams of foolscap?

EI is Julia Frogspawn's baby, is it not? Double vote for pw in that case - see if she can do a bit of classic MN rantage at froggie at the same time.
