Dave

Georges silver foot in his mouth again?

Doug

The story about Osborne's brother being suspended by the GMC came out last night/today. I wonder if there is something else to the story that Osborne will reveal?

Terry

The return of Kenneth Clarke to the front bench?

I Dunnow

Well George did sooooo well this week as shadow chancellor, Dave could of course now move him, and not look at all, even slightly, not a teensy tiny bit, frit.

dave

The Watcher

Is this it?

'Dirty tricks' is labour's only means of defence - hence Mandleson & Campbell's return.

Trolls are always well informed.

Evan

Frank Field defects to the Conservative.

Jim

Darling's resigned?

Jim

Tim Montgomerie is suggesting it involves a Tory shadow minister. No other detail yet.

Letters From A Tory

The Conservatives are going to release a new policy on the economy tomorrow morning at Policy Exchange. My friend works there so he spilled the beans.

Of course, I would tell you what the announcement will be on, but that would steal Dave's thunder....

Lee Jakeman

They've started to think for themselves?

kenny murphy

Cameron rejected the opportunity to join a government of national unity. He will instead continue his 'We are all doomed campaign'.

The Dandiprat

Stop it. Stop it now.
Last time you pulled this stunt, I got myself all in a froth and it turned out to be much to do abart nuffink innit.

NorthernJohn

Spelman gone, Osborne to Chairman, Clarke to Shadow Chancellor?

Nine of Spades

JONNY

Off to pub.
Good luck & Goodnight.

Damien Green's arrest is breaking on Sky news now.

anthony a

sky just saying damien green was today arrested in connection with allegedly leaking information on immigration.
he has not been charged.

NorthernJohn

Damien Green arrested over leaks about immigration - it's on Sky and BBC

CS

I've a clandestine lover who cleans the loos at Central Office and has overheard that the announcement will be by the opposition Treasury team and will be as follows:

2 + 2 = 4

Apparently the Treasury is scrambling its spin doctors to refute this.

Steve

So, shadow immigration minister briefs press about secret figures showing government has cocked up. And gets arrested.

Welcome to Brown's Britain.

Jim

Leaking information on immigration?

I sense a huge opportunity......

Events, dear boy.....

seb

Just a nasty, passing thought. Would it be possible, say, for a cabinet minister responsible for, say, 'business', to be encouraging the police to arrest a shadow cabinet spokesman, say, for, say, leaking information on an issue that has made many voters feel that they would like to wring the government's collective neck?

Philpot

That is what you call cocky, they are getting arrested now before they even become government.At least in the past they waited until they formed a government before being arrested.

RODEST

Debate Debate or Doctor Doctor!

TrevorsDen

Immigration !!!

This is pathetic. If there is anything that deserves leaking its this governments lies on immigration. And I think the rest of the country will see that as well.

Just typical of life in Browns Britain. Opposition MP does his job and he is arrested.

I await someone leaking the political playbook Brown has borrowed from Mugabi

Peter Wilson

Damien Green's been arrested>

He's the SHADOW immigration minister so what the hell can he leak?

Seamaster

Is that all?

Oscar

This will rebound on Brown. Smacks of a Stalinist police state trying to silence the opposition - and cover up the bad news from Populus. And if it's such a crime to use leaked information why isn't the entire Labour government behind bars?

Brash Gordon

Is this Sir Ian Blair's parting shot?

jack anderson

Damien Green has been rejected a green card by US immmigration because he is wanted in Britain for subversive activities against the state. Extraordinary rendition has been arranged by Jack Straw and his American associates. More news from Langley Virginia will follow shortly.

The Dandiprat

Worth the foremention this time. Dis am a big one.

Matt

Oh, dear. Which will we lose first? Democracy or Gordon Brown?

Susan Wade Weeks

This is the kind of thing we fought wars against. Are any of us safe from random arrest? A 19yr old mother in York was arrested after midnight by four police officers, taken from her home and held in a cell overnight for non-payment of a £45 fine for cycling on the pavement. Unbelievable but true.

Apart from anything else, why not do it in daylight? Do police get paid more for night raids? THIS is terrorism.
If anti-terrorism powers can be used to arrest elected Members of Parliament without charge (effectively rendering them incapable of performing their public duty) what does it say about this Government's attitude to democracy? If The Prime Minister and the Home Secretary did not know about this but the Mayor of London did, just exactly who is running this country? The police? If the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary DID know, they have been lying and should go. Is this the first time in history that a Shadow Cabinet member has been arrested for research? It is a disgrace and they must not get away with it yet again.People need to understand that this Government is not only incompetent, it is malign. And wasteful as ever. NINE highly trained police officers involved in this arrest: overkill. If Gordon Brown's shoddy Government is not booted into touch at the next election I am leaving the country.
