So much for an end to partisan politics.

Confirmation of the rumours is emerging - the viciously partisan Democrat animal Rahm Emmanual has been appointed as White House Chief of Staff.

This is Obama putting a bit of stick about. TB wouldn't like to be on the receiving end of a bollocking from this man...

So this is the "change we can believe in" is it?

+++CF featured heavily in press+++

This Saturday's Financial Times weekend magazine will have a front-page piece on Conservative Future. Focusing on the efforts in the run up to the Crewe by-election, Tory Bear understands that it features interviews with the Rock, Patrick Sullivan, Liza Chantelle and of course darling Arabella Anastasia...

TB is going away for a weekend so blogging will be light. He will however be ripping the piss reviewing the piece in full at some point on Sunday.

If anyone out there has anything to get off their chest and fancies doing a guest-post get in touch.

UPDATE Friday 13.39:
Liza Chantelle is pictured on the front-page.
