TV's TB - 7pm Sky News


The broke Labour Party can't afford posters, they can't afford an ad agency and it seems they can't even afford in house designers.

Thomas Graham, a prominent Labour hack and President of Edinburgh University Students Association has been forced to grovel after a stunning drunken outburst, as reported here first on Sunday. Edinburgh newspaper The Journal has
"Witnesses say he became aggressive and made some “inappropriate comments” towards door staff before being forcibly ejected.
“I have apologised for my behaviour to the staff involved in this regrettable incident. I accept full responsibility for my actions; clearly my behaviour was not acceptable. I will ensure that it does not happen again.” Vice President of Services James Wallace said: "I cannot comment specifically on this incident. But I have full confidence in the staff and security who did an exceptional job on Saturday night.""Ouch. Sadly no mention of the assault witnesses confirmed to TB though.
"The head of EUSA has criticised the university's student Conservative association following the chairman's run-in with the police last week for drunken misconduct.President Thomas Graham told The Journal: “It is clear that the Conservative Club have not changed their attitude towards Scotland’s drink culture and have let the Students' Association down.”
Thomas Graham, President of EUSA, expressed his disappointment to The Journal, saying: “He is an individual student in a position of responsibility and we are very disappointed he has decided to act in this way. “We feel sorry for the Conservative Club who have to begin the year dealing with this. It is a great disappointment especially after the success of Edinburgh’s Fresher’s Week which had such an emphasis on non-alcohol related events.""Well worth a

AR: "Given that the Prime Minister will have looked closely at the tragic case. Will he confirm whether a Downing Street staffer took part in a conference in July 2008 which discussed the suitability of Stephen Purcell?
GB: I know nothing of what he says but I shall look at it.Always one for a dodging a question, what was Gordon so coy about? Why so subdued? Surely this was a great chance to attack the SNP for appalling smears, as they are so often, and tell them to put up or shut up.
