It was back in 2004, only a few months after PB was launched, that Labour’s Nick Palmer became the first sitting MP to post on the site under his own name.

Can you please post that Australia will win the Third Test.
I still have two days to endure.
Was the result ever in doubt!!!!!!!!
So the next poll should be due next week?
It raises an interesting question for the election gurus: we know that first-time incumbents typically get quite a boost, maybe up to 3% in vote share; is this reduced if they are facing a re-tread (if you pardon the expression) like Nick?
If the scenario was reversed I wouldn't back Australia at 300-1 in the match
Kohl wanted half of Turks out of Germany.
Would that have included Mesut Özil's parents, I wonder ?

Andrea will be disappointed at the lack of placards in the picture.
Lab 1/3
Con 11/4
UKIP 33/1
LD 100/1
The weather forecast for tomorrow is meant to be dire.
The path to No. 10 starts today....
His success is well deserved.
I hope he wins Broxtowe by a landslide and sends Ms. Soubry back to the The Bar (or the Central Television studio's even)
FPT: Miss Plato, I've got to say that I really rather like SG-1. Not watched it all, but most of it. Universe was a bit hit and miss, I thought. Shame, because Carlyle's great in it.
I bet Soubry is stressed. Shame in a way, she's far from the worse Tory. She's unlucky to have an ultra marginal.
On the bright side, Maybe there'll be a vacancy in safe Witney in short order.
Chris Christie (R) 46% (43%)
Hillary Clinton (D) 38% (42%)

Marco Rubio (R) 45% (43%)

Nick has a "hinterland".
Vey welcome.
I've never met NP, but he seems a perfectly personable chap on here. So I congratulate him on some success in his life. Whether I would feel fit to support him in the 2015 GE campaign would depend on whatever policies Labour comes up, how they compare with those of other parties, and how he personally reacts to them.
I actively dislike the lefty nanny-state hectoring busybody Soubry but when compared to a representative of the party which almost bankrupted the country with its ruinous insane policies I'd certainly hold my nose and vote for her as the best of the bad options.
Nasty FPTP boo hiss

Today's Guardian claims Ian Austin thinks @Ed_Miliband should get Mandy to help run election! Didn't he run the worst campaign in history?
Ian Austin @IanAustinMP 1h
Come on @charliewhelan: get over it. Like one of those old Japanese soldiers found in jungle in 70's cos they didn't know the war was over
If Labour is to win a seat in 2015, I hope it is you.

I am glad he is back in the fray. Broxtowe will be an interesting seat to watch.
Cameron needs to be careful he doesn't, writ small, repeat this. The Libyan intervention, from a military perspective, was just about perfect. Syria would be very different.

Congrats on being reselected.
Frankly I'd sell weapons to both sides to speed the process up a bit, reduce civilian deaths and make some money but I realise the hand-wringers wouldn't like that.

With 'Al Quaeda' prisoner breakouts, the disintegration of all order in the Yemen, the withdrawal of diplomatic missions and clearly identified threats to western civil and state assets, the late summer is full of clear and present danger.
Would be interesting to hear from Y0kel on what is being whispered amongst those in the know.

It's a mystery why the Tories havent reached out to him. Given the opportunity to say something on Newsnight the ultra-reliable Michael Fallon passed it up.
He will have a maximum of about 1/3 of that, probably 1/4. Given that the quality of the results depends on the quality of the data that seems a problem. I suppose he could focus entirely on the "battleground" of 150 seats that might change hands, including, no doubt Broxtowe. But what does he do with the info? In the US he would have used it to tailor advertising, TV and radio slots to control the local narrative and develop it in a way that was thought likely to produce the best results. Here? Well, he can have letters about topics thought to be of interest I suppose.
The Democrats also have a vibrant membership that could no doubt produce lots and lots of local data and polling information for many, many voters over a series of elections. The tories? Not so much.
It will be very interesting to see how effective he can be. If he gets the tories to priortise on building their branch networks and polling returns that would certainly be useful. But the old saying is rubbish in, rubbish out. We shall see.
