PM to issue election warning. Well, it's nice of him to warn us the bullshit level is going to increase.
Anyway, did anyone see 'Newsnight' last night? Michael Portillo versus Peter Mandelson over what will surely be regarded to by future generations as the 'Illusory Iraqi WMD scandal'. I had that awful moment of clarity when you realise the Conservative is actually lying less and making more sense than the Labour representative. But then Mandelson was trying to disseminate and spin by trying to involve the seperate issue of the BBC and Ali C's dodgy dossier so that the host, Gavin Estler, was reduced to shouting "that's five times you've mentioned the BBC now! Can you answer the question?!" Great stuff.
