... had one on that fateful night. Incidentally, Hicks looks and sounds remarkably like Tory wannabe IainDale. Which might or might not be relevant. Are they related? Share and Enjoy:
The Seven Days Show Click the player above to listen to the “Seven Day Show” the first in a series of regular weekly podcasts aimed at looking at some of the political stories over the last seven days. IainDale - co-host of the Seven Day Show It may not be as entertaining (for me at lest) as watching Chelsea beat Manchester Utd, but it will provide you with a brief run down of some of...

As you can see here IainDale's complain against the Daily Mail, over their reference to him as being overtly honosexual costing him the nomination for Bracknell, has been rejected. Quite rightly too. Don't get me wrong. I am not a homophobe. I defend the right of all people to live the lifestyle they choose, to choose the partner they want ,to the very death. These are rights which have...
A complaint against the Daily Mail by gay political blogger IainDale has not been upheld by the Press Complaints Commission. Dale complained that one column, published last month, was homophobic.
IainDale had the story on Friday of how MEPs are now no longer allowed passes for the Houses of Parliament. Basically, this measure was brought in to stop the BNP waltzing around Westminster. What a New Labour way of doing things. Just like immigration, the reason why the BNP exists in the first place, Labour create the problem, then when anything reminds them of their failure, they...
To quote: Nigel Farage has thrown his toys out of his pram, and accused the House of Commons authorities of being "fascistic", after the Commons decided to withdraw Commons passes from serving MEPs. (IainDale) Sorry Iain but you are so wrong on this. The BNP are legally elected Ministers whether you like what they say or not, and a lot of people have accepted the fact...
The news that IainDale's complaint against the Daily Mail under clause 12 of the PCC guidelines was not upheld came as a surprise to some In summary The piece reported that the complainant was on the shortlist of people applying to be the Conservative candidate for the parliamentary constituency of Bracknell. It described him as ‘overtly gay', and referred to an interview he had...
On 30 September, the Daily Mail printed a story about me in its Ephraim HardcastleDiary column. This is what it said... Overtly gay Tory blogger IainDale has reached the final stage of parliamentary selection for Bracknell, telling PinkNews: 'I hope any PinkNews readers who live in Bracknell will come to the open primary on October 17 to select their new candidate. You don't even have...
I have not blogged on my thoughts about Cameron's volt face on the decision to hold a referendum on Lisbon. I believe readers are intelligent enough to find out what Cameron's said and make their own mind up about it. I am personally not convinced, but I think IainDale has it wrong on his post on this issue. Again I suggest readers go and look at his post in full. However, I was livid...
Simples. http://iaindale.mofuse.mobi/ PS Sorry again for lack of posting. Another full day at work. But you will hopefully like the results of at least one of my meetings today. But you will have to wait until 2010 to find out what it is. Patience!
IainDale has set of a meme on the Internet of who you would have at your political dinner party, Iain has identified his 11 people over at his blog. This has then lead to Nick Thornsby to do a post on the subject , heck I have decided to run a post on my blog below. So my 11 people would be: Boris Johnson Lembit Opik Sajjad Karim Nick Clegg Ming Campbell Alex Hilton Iain...
... touch in dealing with such matters. But on this occasion, he was trying to do the right thing. As IainDale says , we should cut him a little slack for that.
On Friday, IainDale blogged about the fact that Nigel Farage, the outgoing leader of UKIP and MEP has been complaining that his Palace of Westminster pass has been removed. The Westminster authorities have decided to remove the privilege from all MEPs. They claim it is to "save resources" but there is a very strong suspicion that the move is to ensure that the two elected BNP...

Interesting story here So it seems that not only did Liz Truss not reveal her affair with a tory frontbencher to the SW Norfolk tories, but she ran as a candidate at Calder Valley in Yorkshire, where they had issues with the previous MP having an extramarital affair as well. She didn't mention it there either. Perhaps, as IainDale has suggested, they should have googled her. Seems to...
As one commenter to my blog wrote "Yesterday's headlines were "Liz Truss Comes out Fighting" (IainDale) and "Liz Truss Wins Over local paper" (Con Home). They should have waited a day for Saturday's EDP ! I think this finally does for Liz. Even IainDale cannot spin this one." What the Tory spinners failed to notice (from only looking at the...
