The Biggest Loser
TB couldn't help but crack up when he saw an advert for
this
on ITV tonight. Apparently Kate Garraway is set to host a new show looking for "The Biggest Loser". 
Hmmm where to begin the search for contestants.

The deluded nats...
There is a must read piece from Alex Massie over at
The Spectator
:"Scottish public spending has essentially doubled since Labour came to power. (To what end, you ask? To very little end, I reply.) Now the British government has run out of money and it is obvious that there are going to have to be spending cuts if the public finances are ever going to be restored to some semblance of stability. This is obvious, I should say, to everyone but the SNP for whom any suggestion that it might be possible to cut even a tiny sliver of cash from the Scottish Government's £34bn kitty is the vilest sort of anti-Scottish treachery.
A deluded little hissy fit from a deluded little pressure group.
+++Cameron rejects expenses plan+++
Sky are reporting that David Cameron and Nick Clegg have just emerged from an hour long meeting with Brown. They have both apparently rejected the plans outlined for a daily allowance based on the equally corrupt European/Lords model. Instead Cameron will apparently be tabling an amendment with the Conservatives plan for reforming expenses.

He got nothing right.
Totally and utterly incompetent and grounds for resignation.
The CF machine kicks in...
20,000 of these will be distributed by Conservative Future activists to commuters at major stations around the country tonight: 
Call the election Gordon, we're ready.

Rage must run in the family...
The DC gossip blog
The Wonkette
has a pretty cringe story about TB's favourite lady blogger Meghan McCain
. John McCain's daughter has been running her blog for awhile now and she has risen in fame in the last few months, now writing for The Daily Beast
. Well to cut a long story short a colleague there appears to have questioned whether Meghan had ever had a real job...Cue one massive Twitter based freakout - start reading from the bottom:
Funnily enough the tweets disappeared very quickly, but not before someone got a screen grab of course!
Oh dear it seems she was pretty rattled by criticism.
YouTube Fail.
A masterpiece of spin once again from Mr Brown today, but once again, within minutes, it all unravels. Two birds, one stone - firstly he killed off the dying dregs of the smeargate story. Secondly he distracted the news agenda for the day - stopping people talking about the Budget. Tomorrow is going to be a day of dreadful headlines for Labour and it is no wonder Brown didn't want to face the press pack today. The ill thought out and rushed plans were broadcast in a painful and cringe-worthy attempt to not only look down with the kids, but to also hide from scrutiny. You can see how awkward he feels with his fake smile, weird gestures, and constant lapses back into grumpiness.
Brown announced when he came to power that he was going to end the days of spin that had dominated the Blair government. He promised to stop bypassing Parliament for big announcements. Well at least Blair had the balls to leak things to the press first, at least there was some degree of accountability. Instead Brown's announcement bypassed any editorial input, questioning and scrutiny from absolutely anyone. How can he lead the country when he is too scared to even face some awkward questions from journalists?
And if you want a vision of how Brown would really like to see this country run; "Children tell me that they want to be teachers, doctors, fireman" All good public sector workers suckling on the teet of the state. Who are these strange kids Brown is meeting who want to join his Utopian super state. There is no mention of entrepreneurs, businessmen, lawyers and dare TB say it bankers? And what a blatant lie about not meeting any young people who want to be MPs. The only people Brown associates himself with are loyal apparatchiks who have one goal and one goal only.
Climbing the greasy poll.
Imitation is the highest form of flattery...
TB's alter ego has been getting a lot of attention today, though he is glad to see that Liberal Youth haven't held a grudge about the muck raking he did during their elections. Far from it, as it seems they have
taken some campaigning tips
from Tory Bear's less than successful delve into student politics...Seems they are set on coming third too.
Steak and Dan Han...
Surrey Conservative Future Dinner
in Guildford on the 9th of May. Tickets are £30 and TB hears that steak is on the menu. This will be followed by what will no doubt be a fantastic speech and even a cheeky question and answer session with the the man himself - Daniel Hannan MEP.By the looks of her Facebook status Miss Swann is already very excited:
Sore to miss this one.
A very good reason to get a haircut...
TB was talking to his flatmate
@noiseporn
earlier. They don't really use each others blogging names when talking to each other, but for the sake of continuity...NP: I really need to get a haircut.
TB: Ah no you should grow it... [it looks a bit silly but sssh.]
NP: Dude I have a bloody mullet.
TB: Yeah grow it, grow it.. it will be funny.
NP: No way man.
TB: Why not?
NP: You know who has a mullet!?
TB: Who?
NP: Derek Draper.
Lost for words...
TB doesn't quite know what to say... Meet Tory Barbie:
here
to see more from Terrible Tory Girl. Now TB has seen everything...
Happy Birthday Ma'am
God save the Queen.
Osborne's big day...
George Osborne has been on fine form in recent weeks. Check out
his appearance
on the BBC last Sunday. After Darling gave the Pre-Budget Report back in November, Osborne hit him right where it hurts with this speech:It's going to take something pretty special to top the "Labour has done it again" speech. This is possibly the most significant budget in a generation and Darling's opening line better be an apology for the blatant lies he told in November about being out of this recession by the autumn. Osborne is already warming up with talk of the "economic carnage of the last ten years" being laid bare on the "day of reckoning." Do us proud George.
You might even get another TB remix...
UPDATE 12.31:
James Burdett
has pointed TB to the fact that Dave will get the first crack at the Budget response. Silly Bear. Go Dave go...
Agreeing with Tom Harris, again.
TB was contacted by a journo this morning inquiring about whether he knew the identity of the Scottish blog
A Leaky Chanter
. The Times ran a bit of a non-story
about it today, claiming it was Scotland's answer to the Red-Rag smears. Only one problem. The Leaky Chanter doesn't make up stuff about the private lives of the SNP members and their families. Instead it is a legitimate, although brutal, attack blog. Tom Harris has come in for some criticism for linking to the site and he comes out fighting:"An “attack blog” is a completely different animal from the kind of smear blog that McBride and Draper were planning to set up. By all means attack your opponents’ policies, but when you attack our families, or invent stuff to attack, you’ve crossed the line. And you’ve exposed yourself for having nothing of substance to attack on. And that means you’ve lost the argument, and deservedly so."
Hear hear.
"Mr Miller declined to comment..."
picked up
on Tom Miller's blatant hypocrisy in signing that clean blogging pledge that TB was talking about yesterday.
