Following the bloody battering the Tories received in last night’s by-election (police have requested dental records to identify the mauled bodies), Tim, being the concerned citizen that he is, has lovingly launched “Hug a Tory Day”.
The rules are simple… HUG A TORY DAY: 20 July 2007

Oh dear, oh dear. The Tories are trying to choose their candidate for Mayor of London, but their much-vaunted primary has ended up looking like a rubber-stamp for Boris Johnson.
The news item on the Conservative website can hardly be called unbiased: it has a picture of Boris (reproduced right) and reads

Paul ‘Guido Fawkes’ Staines is, unsurprisingly, supporting Boris Johnson for Mayor of London. I don’t that Mr Johnson would want the support of someone who advocates copyright theft is beyond me; I’d have expected Staines to be in favour of property rights, but it would seem that does not apply to people he doesn’t like.

Guido Fawkes has been blogging lately at some length about Boris Johnson standing to be the Conservative candidate for Mayor of London.
The Conservatives’ website has a news story that reads
Boris Johnson, the Henley MP and former Shadow higher Education Minister, was the last to put his hat in the ring before Monday’s noon deadline for [...]

In a letter to Dave Cameron, Davies said that the Conservative party “appears to me to have ceased collectively to believe in anything, or to stand for anything”.
Davies isn’t massively high-profile, but [...]

The Sun has issued its latest edict in the form of its Sun Says column. It starts with a hagiography of Brown before declaring:
For the first time, he will be pitted directly against David Cameron, the most popular Tory leader for 15 years. Both have plenty to prove between now and polling day.To the [...]

Gordon Brown has had a poll jump according to yesterday’s Observer. This is to be expected - people like new things - but unfortunately the Observer neglects to give its margins of error. A 3% rise could actually be static if there is a 1.5% margin either side. Still, I’m feeling pretty good about things.

I consider myself a liberal; so long as it doesn’t affect other people, you should basically be allowed to do what you want. It’s a rule of thumb and there are shades of grey, but that’s where I’m coming from. There is an opposing tendency that becomes outraged at the idea that there are people [...]
