Here's a few things:
The full Keith Simpson recess reading list. I'm slowly but surely becoming a fan of old Keith Simpson - his reading lists are always interesting (I know I blogged about this a couple of weeks ago but I couldn't find the full list... the Goose delivers).
One of the other uber-bloggers, Politicalbetting, shows us that Salmond is winning the battle in Scotland... no surprises there. It is like watching Tiger Woods in matchplay against toddlers with exceptionally poor hand-eye co-ordination skills. As I say, I think the only trick he has missed is to call for a referendum on The Lisbon Treaty in Scotland... it would put considerable pressure on Brown at a time when he is on the ropes, it would raise the issue of a referendum (something he surely wants to do) and would highlight the Scottish Parliament's lack of power when it comes to calling for a referendum. Still, not a bad performance by Wee Eck all told.
Does a politican's private life matter in the modern age? I would agree with Montgomerie here. I find it a bit off that Cameron on the one hand allows the press into his home, uses WebCameron and uses his son as an example of the NHS working and then, on the other hand, wishes us to not ask questions about whether or not he used drugs at university. I couldn't give a toss, as it happens, how many people Nick Clegg has slept with... I had him down for a 'One in a bed sex romp' type.
I tend to round-up things and I almost always include a Freakonomics post... so here we are. Go and predictify things!
