  1. David Cameron tells the sceptics: sorting the economy more important than picking fights with Brussels or holding "phoney referendums".
  2. David Cameron: won't repeat promise of referendum on Lisbon Treaty. "It looks as if times are changing."
  3. Charles Clarke: Tony Blair is wrong man for EU president.
  4. Morning Lobby briefing: BBC correspondents asking questions about...the BBC...
  5. Wondering if any MPs will follow through on the talk about asking PQs about Thomas Legg's pay, costs etc.
  6. Bye bye David Wilshire MP.
  7. Rogue bendy bus gets stuck on corner, closing all of Vauxhall bus station. How long before Boris says 'I told you so'?
  8. Gen Sir Richard Dannatt resigns as chairman of Royal United Services Institute; incompatible with his new role as Tory adviser, he says.
  9. Day 2 of Legg and so far, Gordon Brown has made the biggest expenses repayment of any MP. Well, I suppose that's leading by example.
  10. Waiting outside Parliamentary Labour Party meeting. Passing MP suggests tomorrow's splash headline: Brown taken to the cleaners.
  11. G Brown to repay £12.5k on expenses, far more than expected. Never mind his eyesight, could this be what ends his premiership?
  12. Glynnis Kinnock is no longer Europe Minister. The job is now held by Chris Bryant. Baronness K will take his old job doing Asia/Africa.
  13. G Brown says UK economy to grow 1.5pc in 2010. The Budget said 1.25pc. Formal upgrade in the PBR? Labour optimism vs Tory austerity?
  14. Richard Dannatt: Cameron wants me because Tory defence team "lack expertise". This is turning into a mess for DC.
  15. Iain Duncan Smith will be minister in Tory govt, Cameron will say.
  16. Trouserwatch: dusky pink pair, Midland Bar. Remarkable.
  17. Army politics special: Col Richard Kemp unloads on Gen Sir Richard Dannatt at fringe meeting in Manc. Not what fringe organisers expected.
  18. Red trouser alert: Ken Baker in fire-engine red pair, speaking from the platfom. Can't see anyone beating that. Unless DC has a pair?
  19. Which side would Ken Clarke campaign for in a Lisbon referendum? "Let's see if either side invites me." I see trouble ahead...
  20. Waiting for Ken Clarke's EU fringe event at the Tory conference. Oddly, there seem to be a lot of journalists here. Can't think why.
