UKIP give details of the Constitutional Reform Bill introduced in the House of Lords by Lord Willoughby de Broke, who switched from the Conservatives to UKIP in 2007. Amongst the measures included in the bill are British withdrawal from the European Union (hurrah!) and the reduction of the number of MPs in the House of Snouts to a rather more slimline 250. The text of the bill can be found in pdf form HERE. Lord Willoughby, you are a patriot sir, and we salute you!!
The Conservatives are - surprise, surprise - stone cold silent over their EU plans, despite the serious questions being raised after Ken Clarke's apparent admission on BBC1's The Politics Show. Instead, they talk about Cameron's criticisms of Gormless's Iraq inquiry and offer the full text of Cameron's response in the House of Snouts. All very eloquent, but this blog doesn't understand the point of yet another inquiry into the 'dodgy dossier war' anyway. We'd rather listen to Cameron talk about the Conservatives position on the EU. Now then, David, without saying "we would not let matters rest there", what will you do if Ireland vote 'yes' in a referendum and Lisbon comes into force?
The LibDems have Nick Clegg's response to the Iraq inquiry. They also openly accuse George Osborne of avoiding a £55,000 capital gains tax bill by 'flipping' his second home.
The SNP are focusing on the Scottish Government's Economic Recovery Programme - and slating Gormless for not having an economic recovery plan worth looking at. They also accuse Gormless of inadequacy and of using the newly announced Iraq war inquiry as "a cynical attempt to boost his faltering leadership".
The Stop The War people might not like the messenger but they will like the message as the BNP accuse ZaNuLiebour and the Tories over Iraq and say that the decision to go to war in Iraq was "most certainly a war crime as established by the precedent set by the Nuremburg Military Tribunal (NMT) war crimes trials". They also have what they say are "shock figures" on the student visa scheme, but we couldn't spot the source of their figures.
The Green Party and Plaid Cymru have nothing new today.
And we refuse to look at the website of the really nasty ZaNuLiebour party until they reverse all of their civil liberties abuses and give us the referendum we were promised in their manifesto.
