Told you so

Nadine Dorries 6:31pm

I have tried so hard all day. I have kept myself distracted. Fully immersed in meetings and preparing for my fringe tonight.

I forced myself not to look at the comment section on my blog - and then it happened, someone noticed and now I just can't help myself.

Here goes - I told you so. I said weeks ago on my own blog and yesterday on this one that Brown would  announce a withdrawal of troops  and use emotive language with words like 'our boys' to do so, as a pre election stunt to rain on our parade.

And that's just what it is, a cheap political stunt; as proven by the fact that he took only broadcast media with him. No newspapers or journalists to ask awkward questions.

I'm doing Simon Mayo just before David Cameron's speech tomorrow. I always 'mess up' when I do the Mayo show. This is not a good omen!

Nadine Dorries, the Tory MP for Mid-Bedfordhshire, will be blogging for Coffee House during conference. Earlier entries: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4.

OK OK so you're good. Just to confirm it, could you please give us six numbers between 1 and 49 that could be significant tonight.

One of them could be number 10?
