Gove's lost another MP then.
Odd that someone whose main skill is mouthing off in the media was chosen for Chief Whip, which is all about discretion.
I thought he was going to be doing the job easily and leading the attack on Labour in his spare time.

In normal situations, defection to the Lib Dems would be a good idea for some.
But that would suicidal for most. She ought not too- she's got the chairmanship of the Health Select Committee.

No 10's statement on the latest resignation included the classic line "...it's nothing to do with Ukip".
Well that's all right then.
Will Brooks Newman resign as an MP? Bet he doesn't. Which leads me to ask: when it's a matter of personal behaviour - if it's unacceptable in a minister why should it be any more acceptable in an MP?
David Cameron is due in Birmingham for the conference any minute now according to the BBC. You'd have to have a heart of stone etc etc . . .

Re: Saturday September 27th & Sunday 28th September 2014
Locally, 2-bed flats identical to mine sold for around £210,00 just before the crash and dropped to around £190,000 in late 2008. We are on a small scheme close to a good university and good transport connections, in very leafy surroundings for London, so prices hold well. In November 2013, a similar flat here sold for £270,000 and one is on the market now for £360,000. Property bubble is near to bursting, again...ohsocynical wrote:Cripes. Re the housing market:
I've just checked. At the height of the boom, one bedroom maisonettes, were around £147,000 in 2007. The lowest they dropped when the recession hit was around £130,000.
A year ago they'd crept back up to £147,000. Today [and they're leasehold] they are going for £165,000.
It's probably the one bedroom making them so popular and likely to fall a bit if the bedroom tax is dropped.
Edit: to change ...and is one the market... to ...and one is on the market...

You can almost hear the gritted teeth in this from Rentoul re the ComRes poll for the Indy:
and I love this:finds that Labour has stretched its lead over the Conservatives to six points, and that Ed Miliband’s favourability rating has improved slightly despite his forgetting passages about the deficit and immigration in his conference speech.
The poll also suggests that David Cameron is no longer an asset to his party: although 8% of voters say they would like to vote for him but not his party, 11% said they would like to vote for the Conservatives but not for him.
