I have had little time to blog over the last couple of days!

It was interesting in the Chamber today. Prior to PMQs, a Conservative MP shouted to the withered and tired-looking Labour benches, "I bet you wish you had Tony Blair back!" To the complete shock of my colleague, the Labour Minister looked at him, smiled wearily and nodded his head - as did other Labour MPs! It is fairly obvious that the majority of Labour MPs have realised the game could be up. However, the good ones, Ministers like the Housing Minister Iain Wright, are still battling on, and putting up a sterling performance at the Dispatch Box.

It's the  Channel 4 Awards tonight. I have been short-listed/nominated, not sure which one, for Opposition Politician of the Year. I think, although not sure as no time to check, I'm with Vince Cable and Ken Clarke, so , I’ll be going home early then!
