It's just a big right-wing conspiracy...
Joking apart TB is off to the states and France for six weeks so will be good to get some drinks in before he heads off. Would particularly like to put some faces to a few names - get in touch if you fancy joining us.
Dizzy, Guido, The Devil.. Could get turn into a heavy night.
Sam Tarry's Lies:
Seems nobody bothered to send the chairman of Young Labour the memo that pulled the plug on Labour's deceitful and malicious lies that only the Tories would be the ones cutting after the 2010 election.
Here is what was just mailed out to the members:
Subject: Campaign Weekend in Norwich North
Hi its Sam Tarry here, National Chair of Young Labour,
I'm asking you to come and get stuck into the Tory's [sic.] this weekend with Young Labour - We're fighting a close by-election this week and the dividing lines have been drawn. These are tough times indeed - but Conservative planned cuts will ravage our public services and decimate our communities - we know that only Labour will keep investing to help ordinary working people. So come and help deliver that message on the doorsteps on Norwich this weekend.
With bullshit like that Gordon would be proud but maybe Sam should look at little closer at the briefing notes from Victoria Street. Even
Labour are clearly getting desperate in this by-election to the extent that Tarry throws the kitchen sink at the tories by linking to the now infamous Don't Panic video and then has to resort to begging his rapidly declining membership to come along.
Not exactly the most positive of campaigns being run by Young Labour. What a surprise.
On that freedom all our other freedoms depend.
TB is very busy today. Big surprise tomorrow, but in the mean time stumbled across this old gem again:
Ahhh. Normal service resumes tonight.

Dizzy joins the Village People
Provocative headline aside,
Sound and Slick...
Is it just TB or has anyone else noticed how slick the CCHQ videos are getting? It's looking good for the election. Such a shame we can't buy airtime and get this sort of thing viewed by millions instead of thousands. Allowing political parties to buy advertising would destroy the stranglehold the media and lobby have over our politicians, who have to creep round them and vica-versa. But that's a debate for another day...
In the meantime the new approach to aid has some fantastic ideas and is a fantastic video.
Harperson finally goes round the bend...
Harriet Harman is drawing up plans to stamp out discrimination against Scousers, Geordies and people from Yorkshire.
Labour's deputy leader wants to get more people from the regions on to the boards of major public bodies.
Ms Harman is planning to impose special quotas to boost numbers - just as she has done for women, gay people and ethnic minorities.
She fears too many organisations are run by executives from London and the South East."
Oh lordy, she's really
Anyone hear the one about the Scouser, the Geordie and the person from Yorkshire who walked into a bar?
Exclusive: Ed Hallam has poked Lucy Roblin
There has been much speculation about whether or not Lucy Roblin the Vice Chairman of

Monday Morning Totty Watch:
TB is not sure that this is the right reaction to be having to an
It has to be said that CF's very own Liza Chantelle and Anna Fazackerley from Policy Exchange are looking particularly fine.
Dinner?
The winner has to be able to get to central London, will have to be in early September too. Numbers can fluctuate a little from day to day so just be the first person to email TB with a screengrab of you being the 1000th follower. Sixty odd to go.
Who will the winner be?
Male or female? Lads- TB will get the beers in and then something manly like curry. Ladies... well it will be a slightly more civilised evening. See above.

Summer Reading
A Useful Fiction
With the dust still settling on the expenses scandal it didn't take long for some entrepreneurial types to get the handy guide book to the whole saga out in just weeks.

Who dunnit?
Got a rather interesting text message:

Give TB some credit, he's not that silly. Not sure what
Why can't he just retire gracefully?

Who was the hackette?
