Wounder...

I am not, nor have I ever been an Abba Fan.
AC has a sense of humour...
Some of you may know that TB has a lot of time for Alastair Campbell, and he's pleased to see that he, or at least the person moderating his
...is just fine! Also a bit odd that AC has included the footage of Mandy resigning in one of his videos that goes through the glory days of New Labour. How odd.
Comment away!

More spin and lies...
Firstly we have Matt McPherson, the campaign manager. Then Dean the Chair of SLS again, next up it's Laura Jayne Baker a former Womans Officer of the Labour club and finally Naomi Hunter, Vice President of the Students Association and member of the Labour Party.
And then there were two...

NUS has money to burn...
The NUS advertises for a new regional organiser for the South West
Turning a blind eye?
Special Ties... and special suits.
Quote of the day... or week even.
Why should people get involved with organisations like Conservative Future?
For the sex. Pure and simple. What other reason could there possibly be? OK, I can think of one. Because you want to do something to save your country. And by joining CF you will be joining an organization which is going to do its utmost to help candidates in marginal seats beat their opponents on June 4 2010.

McMenamin crosses the line.
After he set up various tory hate sites and attended the Derek Draper/Number 10 blogging love in, Adrian McMenamin went under the radar as his bosses at the CBI told him to pack the partisan politics in and focus on his job. At first McMenamin was a notable absence but it now seems however that Mr Hate My Tory Dot Com is back and is a fully signed up member of the
What is it going to take before the CBI wake up and realise that one of their
Writing for a LABOUR supporting website, having already been warned, must be too far?

For Foulkes sake...
Apologies for the lack of blogging. TB has been snowed under (haha,) with work and debating the Student SNP last night. Edinburgh University
This message was sent in the middle of the day, solid proof of what everyone has known - Foulkes and Labour can't win without having paid staffers run his campaign. Here is what the message said:
If you come across a copy of Student Newspaper today - you'll see the Headline "Foulkes in Cash for Access Controversy." The story is written by one Liz Rawlings.
The basic gist of the story is that an unnamed academic has written a letter of complaint to the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner about George's involvement with a law firm called Eversheds.
This unnamed complainant has asked the commissioner to investigate whether George has breached the Members Code of Conduct under section 5.1.6
In April 2008, an SNP activist called Andrew Harlick wrote to the Standards Commissioner on the exact same issue with the exact same complaint. After a 6 week investigation, the Standards Commissioner threw the complaint out entirely.
- There wasn't just insufficient evidence. There was no evidence whatsoever to substantiate the complainants' allegations.
George wants you to know that his work with Eversheds is completely above board and he has never tabled any motions or questions on behalf of a client. Such a practice turns his stomach as much as it does yours.
All this information was given to the Sunday Herald (who originally broke the story) by George. The Sunday Herald – the same paper which Iain MacWhirter writes for – chose not to publish it.
Student, and in particular Liz Rawlings - whose facebook picture sees her side by side with Alex Salmond – lifted the story directly from the Sunday Herald.
George phoned the Standards Commissioner this morning – whose office is yet to receive a letter of complaint about George from anyone.
Read into this set of events what you will – but George was keen for you, as members of the campaign to have the full facts at your disposal. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to get in touch.
George is on campus this afternoon continuing to proudly campaign for the rectorship which he cares so much about.
Best wishes,
Kez
There was a rumour afoot after Foulkes failed to show up to a debate last night that he is seriously considering dropping out of the race rather than face the humiliation of a dismal third.
Yet another Pyongyang style retraction from an increasingly desperate campaign.
