TB decided to stop running the country now that Mr-Rent-a-Quote Mandy has returned home and instead decided to get drunk at lunchtime.
It has often been speculated that Alan Duncan won't be in Dave's cabinet next year but the man is a damn liability in the run up to the election.
Having mentioned Alex Hilton and David Prescott's Labour PR company
While TB is lying in the sun he will keep one paw on the keyboard every few days as well as putting up the occasional guest post. Ever since the whole Nightjack affair, TB has got into reading a fair few police blogs. Often anonymous and cutting, these bloggers are risking their careers and security by bravely blowing the whistle on the reality of Britain's police forces, that have been bought to near breaking point by failed Labour policies.

Not sure what all that fuss about Terminal 5 was... TB found it very civilised but then again he was running very late and managed to convince the charming BA stewardess to fast track him through everything.
From DC to the south of France.
It's a hard life. Back soon.
If you happen to be one of those unfortunate people who suffer from a leftist disposition then look away now...How can this picture be beaten? Bush? Cheney? Palin?
TB is rather chuffed to have just noticed he has crept up to 11th in the
After a rabble rousing speech to the YAF conference, the former House Speaker was asked whether he had booked any vacation time to visit the states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Massachusetts etc early in 2012. After batting the question away with humour, Gingrich seemed the think twice and with a slight glint in his eye, smiled and said there would be a decision to be made in January 2011.
Cue much enthusiastic applause.
Newt Gingrich's Contract with America delivered a balanced budget and the first tax cut in sixteen years back in the mid nineties. He has the ideas and potential backing and support to redraw the battle lines and throw the gauntlet down to the spend-happy democrats and the floundering Obama administration.
The Republican Party desperately needs a figurehead, a banner to come together under once again. Speaker Gingrich has saved the GOP once and it would be fascinating to watch him try do it again. The invisible primary is already well underway - perhaps the GOP nomination is exactly why a busy man would take time out of his day to talk to hundreds of young activists for a few hours.
He sure has hell didn't deny it.
TB has just quickly flicked through his emails while he has the chance. Apologies for the lack of replies, he will get back to y'all real soon. (Just kidding there is not a chance in hell TB would lose his English accent over here. It's golden.) Anyway, this one in particular hit a nerve:
"... have you seen Harman's recent obsessively sexist outbursts? "Men caused the credit crunch" "There must always be a woman at the top of government" "Men are evil" etc. All the papers are reporting on how this is "barking mad" but nobody is pointing out that politically it is actually quite shrewd. There are plenty of Labourites whose reason for getting out of bed in the morning is the absurd concept of "equality" or "positive discrimination." She's positioning herself, no doubt about it"
Ugh. TB might have to stay here if that is really the case.
Much to rant about when there is a spare moment.
TB has having a wonderful time at the Young America's Foundation national conference here in DC. The organisation, turnout, speakers, women and soundness is really a reality check to just how far the British grassroots conservative movement has to go. People have travelled from all over the US to be here, from every state and every right wing political view point. Have managed to find a decent wifi connection in a bar now so TB will grab his laptop later and blog properly. In the meantime the blackberry is going away because it's time to hear Newt Gringrich speak...
Missing y'all.
TB is busy getting settled in to George Washington University, his home for the next week. Blogging will be light as there is a serious lack of WiFi.
Seems silly season is in full swing so nowt really going on.
Will see if TB can find some nice republican ladies for a southern belles totty watch edition.
There is a storm brewing here tonight in DC. Fingers crossed it might clear some of the intense humidity, but apparently it often only makes it worse. Guess that is what you get when you build a city on a swamp!
Either way TB is taking it easy tonight and hit the room service. Tucked up in bed watching the West Wing,
