Spot on. I've always thought there are too many lawyers in Government.

I can't stand Harriet Harman or George Osbourne. Pair of c*nts.

I like the new kit, old school, nice.

When did I say he was good, or a top PM? I just can't remember Hague coming off better in his exchanges with Blair. Like him or not, the fact is he wiped the floor with the Tories just like Thatcher did to the Labour Party. Blair, like Thatcher, was in power for too long and let it go to his head.

I can only recall Hague's monotone getting well beaten in their exchanges, and Blair winning the 2001 election by a landslide.

This was all declared and registered at the time, so this is nothing but smear from an ever desperate Tory press. I like the idea of Murdoch and his cronies sh*tting themselves at the thought of electoral reform and all their political influence gone in a second. I wish I was as organised as you with the Golf Society's money though. I've got to pay out what I've spent to St Mellion next week for our do. We really need to get a bank account.

I don't remember that. My memory of Blair is him wiping the table with anyone the Tories put in front of him. Up to this point, both Cameron and Osbourne look like frightened rabbits staring at the headlights, in the televised debates. I don't think the country wants Blair Mk2, all smiles and spin in number ten. The Tories would have been better of electing David Davies as their leader. That said, I think the Liberals have peaked too early.

Does the Administrator have to pay for all debts incurred whilst he is at the club. I would imagine he is buying a tenner's worth of Euro Lottery tickets as we speak, whilst telling all and sundry that he is waiting until Friday night for possible new investment. Why haven't they been closed down yet? And is it likely to happen?

It is, sorry.

Genius. Continue with the negative campaigning just to highlight you haven't got any policies worth tuppence (big society = joke). It has never worked in the past and it won't now.

He was OK. Not side splitting but he made me laugh.

Bob Higgins, nice.

To be fair, he wasn't chosen by PR people. He was chosen by a democratic vote. I thought they made a mistake and should have gone with David Davis.

I admire your optimism, I do think you're a little mad though.

Don't know too much about him, but the job seems a load of ****** to me. "The Football Development and Support Centre is an exciting new structure that will oversee four main areas - The Academy, Scouting, Sports Medicine and Equipment Procurement" Sports medicine - get a doctor with real expertise in. He doesn't need an unskilled manager to oversee him. The Academy, leave it to Dodd and co. It's not like we haven't had any youngsters coming through. Scouting - leave as is. Pardew has signed some cracking players and has been quoted as having a great network of scouts and contacts. Equipment Procurement! I hope he won't be buying fish tanks and eye gyms. This does seem to be a bit of a waste of money.

Anyway, about the Tory manifesto. After months and months of not telling anyone their policies, they come up with this document, which, frankly is an anti-climax and certainly hasn't gripped the nation. I don't know what they expected, as apparently the brains behind it all is Oliver Letwin.

They don't have a healthy core vote, otherwise they would still be in power! Nice to see a bit of squirming from the smug, who thought the election was a foregone conclusion.

Going to see him tonight. Nice.

Sweet

I suppose I'm right-wing on some issues and centre-left on others. I would say I'm on the right-wing of the Labour Party. I don't like the nannying, I don't agree with certain benefits being paid to people who won't work out of choice, I think our borders are policed very poorly, and we are letting in too many people at a time when our public services are creaking at the seams. I won't go on, but I would say I'm a bit of a mix. It would be fair to say I am very suspicious of the Tories, and the labour laws they would repeal.

Who are you calling a lefty! I disagree with parts of the Tory manifesto, so that makes me a lefty?

I still think the election could go either way. The Tories don't seem to be running away with it, and their manifesto is disappointing. They will be relying a lot on Murdoch's newspapers. The Sun, in particular, is slightly demented at the moment and making a fool of itself. Trevor Kavanagh is nuts. My gut reaction is the Tories will beat Labour, but may fall short of a majority. Out of the three parties so far, I am most impressed with the Lib campaign, although they won't get my vote. In Clegg, Cable and Huhne theyhave three very impressive campaigners. Maybe a hung Parliament wouldn't be a bad thing.

I think it's sensible not to be grilled by Paxo. Clever move by Clegg to speak to him while the election campaign is in its infancy, and will be largely forgotten by May 6th. Not such a good move to be ritually humiliated closer to the vote. I'm looking forward to the leaders debates.

It's a recipe for disaster. I like the claim that you can veto council tax rises (set by your democratically elected council). What a load of PR spin/bullsh*t from Mr PR Cameron.

John Denham, put principles before his career, is very approachable, and has given up a fair bit of time for a charity my wife works for. Mike Han**** - very good speaker. Dennis Skinner Vince Cable James Purnell - hope he comes back. I always thought he was PM material.
