ITEM: ‘The Lib Dems never were and aren’t a receptacle for leftwing dissatisfaction with Labour. There is no future for that, there never was,’ said Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg on the eve of his party’s conference. Which makes you wonder why, during the run up to the General Election, he spent precious time campaigning in places as far apart as Redcar in the north east and Streatham in south London – places hitherto regarded as rock solid safe seats in Labour ‘heartlands’. Maybe it was just that he’d never been there and fancied a look. Yes, that must be it.
ITEM: The Daily Mail reports on Russell Brand attacking a photographer attempting to get upskirt shots of his fiancé Katy Perry. The readership are torn over outrage at the violence and disappointment that they’re not getting any pictures of Perry’s underwear.
ITEM: Dear media dickheads, it’s only day one of the Liberal Democrat conference and I’ve already seen or heard three references to sandals (Jackie Ashley in the Guardian, some herbert called Matthew d’Ancona, and the hateful Justin Webb on Radio 4). How about you read this and try to find a cliche of your own to milk to death, you lazy, lazy bastards.
ITEM: A few years ago this blog was languishing, dying. In my despair I prayed to the venerable Tim Ireland and only a few months later the blog had a Google Page Rank of six. It’s certainly way more miraculous than Deacon Jack Sullivan’s regression to the mean. But where’s Tim’s parade?
ITEM: A cautionary tale for Nick Clegg and his flock from none other than Johnny Cash.
