  1. Good luck to Magnus Nome as he takes over as ed-in-chief of Open Democracy one of the world's best political web sites
  2. No one should ever use the DWP's on-line application for DLA. It is used to trap people. Get independent advice
  3. Fab sunny day as I breakfast in garden before surgery and Rotherham minister Jubilee service
  4. @IsabelOakeshott Robin Cook would have
  5. My goodness. Dear old Alistair, so docile under Gordon is back as the 1980s political Tiger he once was. (No Qs on his then politics please)
  6. Hilarious to hear Nicola Sturgeon say indie Scot would keep £. I did so many Salmond debates with him saying UK must go into € now, now, now
  7. Newsnight graphics obscures rather than sharpens Hunt-Smith-Cam story. They need a good Sun sub to explain how to tell tale. Saved by Fallon
  8. Really worthwhile charity is DEBRA supporting kids whose skin falls off all the time. Went to see their Rotherham shop denismacshane.com/?p=2112
  9. Grass so dry lawn mower finishes job in half usual time so it's Davians for fish+chip and Lord Mandelson's favourie green veg
  10. "@KathViner: Libya's PM says ex-intelligence chief knows who killed PC Yvonne Fletcher//Does he know if Libya did Lockerbie?
  11. Avoid M1 northbound. dreadful jams, queues. No explanation. Feels as if John Major is back in charge
  12. "I'll lose my job if an Islamist becomes president because my job will be forbidden." Cairo hairdresser quoted by Ian Black in Gdn
  13. "@Ed_Husain: For decades now, imams have been preaching patience in mosques of Middle East"// That's why it's a region of peace, tolerance
  14. Awards ceremony at youngest son's school. Great music, such talented youngsters. I have more confidence in this generation than my own.
  15. Cam could read Jonathan Aitken's sensible Gdn suggestion on prisoner voting. But Euroscep MPs won't let bone go as they love rows wth Europe
