"I thought this when I heard that in Cameron's letter of thanks to Miller this morning he said that he hoped she would in time be back on the Tory frontbench. Really? After everything that has happened? Vote Conservative and get Maria Miller back in the cabinet? Really?"
Incredibly, even now, he simply just doesn't get it does he?
Although there want this uproar when the same was said to David Laws. He's not a woman, though.
Just watched PMQ's.....god, that was awful for all concerned.
Perhaps as the MPs' MPs they both felt a bit vulnerable? Just guessing.
Politics is all PR , however, today was a pretty bad PR excersize for both leaders.The fact that the Speaker pointed out that there were children in "The House" watching them didn't stop either of them or all the other MP's harrumphing looking like total bellends. The word PMQ's is rediculous as a question never gets answered, the response is always a question not an answer. Why not call it "Competition to see who gets on the five minute clip in the news"?
Sorry, I have no idea - having since looked at his twitter account and past tweets, it could mean anything. - the tw@ is seriously short of a sandwich imho.

I've been accused of being both a cocunut and a munafiq.
I noticed that Sajid Javid married an infidel.
I'm sorry you had to experience that. That sort of language is as bad as racist slurs in my opinion.

Quite. It's a waste of time. PMQs should select questions from the electorate to be answered and debated in the house.
Just asked a Muslim friend. Apparently "kha'en" is Arabic for "traitor". That gives you an idea of how those using such terms think of the rest of the country.
'UKIP just the same as other politicians? Or do you think they are gaining support because people see them as not like the rest?'
A party led by a public school boy,ex city slicker,expense trougher and bankrolled by a handful of millionaires, maybe you can explain the difference?
'The leader of the UK Independence party (Ukip), which wants to lead Britain out of the EU, has taken £2m of taxpayers' money in expenses and allowances as a member of the European Parliament, on top of his £64,000 a year salary.
Nigel Farage, who is calling on voters to punish "greedy Labour, Conservative and Lib Dem MPs" at the European elections on 4 June, boasted of his personal expenses haul at a meeting with foreign journalists in London last week.
Nice editing of my post to suit you
Of course what I asked was, "Do you think the public see UKIP..." etc etc
The rise in the polls, the unanimous victory over Clegg, the record breaking membership etc seems to say they don't see it your way

I'm coming round to the view that to be a successful Prime Minister, you need, inter alia, to be a good sacker. In this particular regard Cameron is probably the worst we have seen in living memory .... weak, weak, weak as evidenced on a number of occasions over the past four years.
It is, however, an excellent paper, and I think likely to influence both the debate on leaving the EU altogether, and the goals for renegotiation. This is exactly the kind of thing I've been suggesting UKIP should produce if they were serious, but they are more interested in cheap jibes and putting Ed Miliband into No 10.
Sorry but Mr Cameron is putting EM into Downing street he doesn't appeal to a wide enough audience.
"I welcome the Prime Minister's speech on this complex and important topic. I am proud of my Pakistani and Muslim heritage but, as I have myself said repeatedly, people who settle here should respect the British way of life, culture and traditions, and be required to learn our language. For too long we have championed an ideology of multiculturalism which has created divides rather than broken them down."
Exactly the right mindset to have.
Hooray! This guy sounds good. Perfect backstory. Tories need 200 more like him.
Incidentally I've had people on my Twitterfeed saying "anyone who voted against Equal Marriage" should not be allowed to be a minister, when I point out this means no believing Catholics or Muslims can ever become ministers, they go quiet.
Hello lefty race politics, meet lefty gender politics, you two should get along famously.
Sadiq Khan is a Muslim and he voted for gay marriage. Still a barmy position though. (The exclusion, not gay marriage.)
Just how far back and in how much detail would you like me to go chum?
David Cameron took out maximum taxpayer-funded mortgage - then paid off own £75k loan four months later
David Cameron was dragged personally into the expenses row last night after it was revealed that he paid off a loan on his London home shortly after taking out a £350,000 taxpayer-funded mortgage on his constituency house.
The disclosure followed a powerful call by the Tory leader yesterday for the ‘full force of the law’ to be deployed against MPs who have abused allowances.
Following a Mail on Sunday investigation Mr Cameron could now face searching questions about his own expense claims.
Shall we look at his amusing Wisteria claims too? How about Osbrowne? He's even more laughable. For that matter do you have the slightest idea how many in the fop's chumocracy were in deep, deep sh*t over expenses? It's quite a few, to say the least.
(Interesting that Andrea Leadsom is one of the leading MPs behind that).
Having said that, I think the Brexit winner's paper is better: more concise, and showing a good grasp of the realities of negotiation. Most of the issues which would arise in negotiating Brexit are exactly the same as those which would arise in negotiating a different relationship whilst remaining 'In' the EU.

No he's not. Where are you getting that from?
"My own family's heritage is Muslim. Myself and my four brothers were brought up to believe in God, but I do not practise any religion. My wife is a practising Christian and the only religion practised in my house is Christianity. I think we should recognise that Christianity is the religion of our country."

David Cameron's list of seven are a nebulous joke. How exactly are we to judge whether we have stopped "unnecessary interference" from the ECHR, or "excessive interference" from Brussels? Even "tighter immigration rules" is arbitrary enough that a ban on claiming benefits for 13 weeks rather than 12 could be judged to be successful. He's trying to set a deliberately low bar that he can't be held to.
The Fresh Start stuff is much better. There are 23 precise measures there. Let's see how many of them Cameron achieves.
Mr. Pulpstar, don't be silly. It's well known that the English are the world's greatest sailors. I will not taste the bitterness of defeat by tangling with English seamen.

No, he's very sensibly keeping options open. You don't lay out your negotiating position in detail, in public, over a year before the negotiations can even start, and you certainly don't specify what are red lines and what are things you might concede - otherwise the other side take all the concessions and start trying to chip away at the red lines.

I'm not asking him lay out his negotiating position or red lines. I'm just asking him to lay out his aims, which he consistently refuses to do. He'll need to say what he wants when he walks in the room anyway, so this is a ridiculous argument.
How exactly are we to judge whether we have stopped "unnecessary interference" from the ECHR
The other mysterious thing about this is that just when we'd got used to the idea that he was going to get 27 countries to agree to what he wants in two years to no particular benefit to themselves, he nonchalantly throws in something involving a negotiation with 46 members of the Council of Europe, but apparently doesn't see fit to mention the fact that he's going to have one.

Anyway, we have a list from EU Fresh Start for the renegotiation position. Even though these aren't particularly ambitious (no reduction in the CAP and nothing on limiting migration), let's see how many of this reduced list of points is actually achieved.
So why is it that the scottish public aren't outraged but seem to be carrying on as if your story is laughable (and recycled every month or so) while Miller had to quit from the incompetent fop's cabinet?
Hmmm...?
Speak up Zimmy. That £350,000 taxpayer-funded fop mortgage must make Cammie and you very proud after all.
You obsequious Cameroons really do have quite the problem with being out of touch with public opinion, don't you?

He has set out his aims. He hasn't laid out the detail, but that will be a matter for detailed diplomatic discussion.
As I said, the Brexit paper is good on priorities, and on which aims might be reasonably easy to achieve, and which are going to be very hard. The one that worries me most - and this is the same whether it's Brexit or renegotiation within the EU - is financial services.

It's a tough one, though. Polling intention is one thing. Making it down the polling booth for something that seems so remote is quite another. Particularly if you're a labour voter, voting for the status quo on an issue that's well down your list of concerns.

I recall at the time the banker bonus cap came out, you said you'd supporting leaving the EU if it was enacted. Did you reverse yourself on this?
I think that is one element of the wider question of whether the EU is damaging the City to a degree which outweighs the advantage of the Single Market for financial services. I have previously cited it as one item amongst several which make me think that the balance of the argument is shifting towards leaving the EU. However, I see no point in leaving before trying renegotiation; there is nothing at all to be lost by trying. If we don't succeed in getting much, then obviously I'd seriously consider voting to leave, provided of course that there was a reasonable consensus on what 'leaving' would mean. (I'd certainly not support leaving whilst remaining within the EEA - the worst of all worlds).
That's why I think this Brexit paper is so important - it's the most coherent account of what we might aim for, if we do leave, that I've seen.
Are UKIP going to pick it up, refine it, and argue coherently for a position which can be put to voters in a referendum? No, almost certainly not, they'll just continue moaning, making silly personal attacks on David Cameron, and working to prevent both Brexit and renegotiation by putting Miliband into No 10.
Just watched PMQ's.....god, that was awful for all concerned.
Perhaps as the MPs' MPs they both felt a bit vulnerable? Just guessing.
Politics is all PR , however, today was a pretty bad PR excersize for both leaders.The fact that the Speaker pointed out that there were children in "The House" watching them didn't stop either of them or all the other MP's harrumphing looking like total bellends. The word PMQ's is rediculous as a question never gets answered, the response is always a question not an answer. Why not call it "Competition to see who gets on the five minute clip in the news"?
PMQs is of course Prime Minister's Questions. The Speaker announces "Questions for the Prime Minister" at the start of the session. No one ever says anything about Prime Ministerial answers and that is really not the point.
There will be some polling reputations in the dust come the day after the EU results.
You're not wrong. It's also the last big party electoral test before 2015 so there's going to be a touch more than mere academic interest paid to who get's it right and who is way, way off.
Sure, the EU angle will skew things as the local angle always does but it's still real voters and real results. We aren't just talking about a handful of councillors but a huge number of votes for big electorally important areas. If a party doesn't use this as campaign and activist practice for the GE soon after, then they might as well throw in the towel right now.

I noticed that Sajid Javid married an infidel.
TSE - For every idiot that says he married an infidel, there will be one telling his wife she is diluting the traditions and culture of the UK with her marriage to a foreigner.
To be honest, it was something that has never bothered me, then a couple of years ago, my wife and I had to deal with some [moderated] EDL supporters in a bar in Manchester, and really has left me upset to this day.
I have witnessed it myself a number of times and stepped in and let my feelings be known to the agressors. In reality on each ocasion it had feck all to do with me, however, it is not my way to stand by and let it go, plus each time the people facing the abuse have been outnumbered. The fact that I am white, tall and well built may be the fact why they then backed down and walked away, most bullies do. It doesn't go down too well with the missus who rightly says they could easily be loads of them waiting outside to cave my head in, but hey ho, lucky so far.
Good for you. We need more people standing up to this sort of stuff.
For someone who comes from a PR background, Cameron does seem to come up short on PR. Every time something like this appears he seems to go out the way to make things worse.
Miller is forced out by a right wing media witch hunt and by public demand over what she did. He then gets into a tiff with one of the witch hunt papers about if Number 10 leaned on it and says "hope you return to cabinet in due course" to the outgoing Miller.

There will be some polling repuations in the dust come the day after the EU results. They are all over the place and they cannot decide between them which party is 1st, 2nd or 3rd.
Not necessarily , it is only the accuracy of the pollsters' final polls which will count a not polls 6 weeks out .
F1: Bahrain test, I think, ends today. Hamilton is 3 seconds ahead of the next best time. I don't think that's truly representative, but even so, the Silver Arrow is in another league.
I agree with the suggestion the Rosberg-Hamilton battle will be one of the fiercest. I read an interesting view that Hamilton's medium tyres actually helped him at the end of Bahrain, because Rosberg's had gone (the gap at the end was over a second). Furthermore, the time difference was surprisingly marginal (about 0.2-0.3s per lap) so it wasn't the certain victory for Rosberg that some have painted it as.
Obviously, Hamilton drove fantastically and holds the advantage, but Rosberg is in with a serious shot at the title, and I rather hope he takes it.

The polls will be an ever present metric during the campaign. A campaign likely to be extremely long. So in between the debate speculation/dissections and the local campaign colour the media will be focused like a laser on every one of them. Also giving some prominence to the betting as well I would think.

Mr. Pork, Clegg raising the Lords is just meant to excite those who delight in rocket sandwiches, and annoy Conservatives backbenchers. It's fairly soft and safe differentiation (both sides are happy to argue over it and emphasise just what jolly different parties they are).
Personally, I'd rather abolish Nick Clegg than the House of Lords.

I think that is one element of the wider question of whether the EU is damaging the City to a degree which outweighs the advantage of the Single Market for financial services.

Mr. Pork, Clegg raising the Lords is just meant to excite those who delight in rocket sandwiches, and annoy Conservatives backbenchers..
It's more likely to annoy the rocket sandwiches and delight the tory backbenchers considering what a colossal mess Clegg made of it. Soft differentiation or not it's fairly bizarre to highlight one of your biggest failures.
Clegg managed to snag himself a new PR drone not that long ago so if this is the new strategy after the Farage 'triumph' he'll need to give just a touch more substance to the ever dwindling yellows to get them motivated.

The Lib Dems need to get relevant and be relevant. If they can do that, they can denounce the Tories about banging on about things nobody cares about - topics like Europe, or the plight of the few paying 50p tax - and have a narrative for the campaign.

Errm yes now where were we ?
In this particular regard Cameron is probably the worst we have seen in living memory .... weak, weak, weak as evidenced on a number of occasions over the past four years.
Just how far back and in how much detail would you like me to go chum?
David Cameron took out maximum taxpayer-funded mortgage - then paid off own £75k loan four months later
David Cameron was dragged personally into the expenses row last night after it was revealed that he paid off a loan on his London home shortly after taking out a £350,000 taxpayer-funded mortgage on his constituency house.
The disclosure followed a powerful call by the Tory leader yesterday for the ‘full force of the law’ to be deployed against MPs who have abused allowances.
Following a Mail on Sunday investigation Mr Cameron could now face searching questions about his own expense claims.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1189788/Cameron-took-maximum-taxpayer-funded-mortgage--paid-75k-loan-months-later.html
Shall we look at his amusing Wisteria claims too? How about Osbrowne? He's even more laughable. For that matter do you have the slightest idea how many in the fop's chumocracy were in deep, deep sh*t over expenses? It's quite a few, to say the least.
Or, rather more detailed:

(Interesting that Andrea Leadsom is one of the leading MPs behind that).
Having said that, I think the Brexit winner's paper is better: more concise, and showing a good grasp of the realities of negotiation. Most of the issues which would arise in negotiating Brexit are exactly the same as those which would arise in negotiating a different relationship whilst remaining 'In' the EU.

The Deputy First Minister recently defended Mr Salmond's controversial oversees expense claims by saying he would not get caught staying at New York's upmarket Benjamin Hotel like Jack McConnell, his Labour predecessor.'
Salmond has even managed to embarrass his deputy with his taxpayer funded troughing.
