Too much to post, not enough time (week 2)

It looks as though this sort of post may become a regular item. There is so much of interest that I want to post but I do, contrary to popular opinion, have a life.

So for today:

1) Peter Oborne writes that "This is a Government in collapse" and notes that "Ms Smith has still not sued me after I accused her last week of thievery: does her failure to do so amount to an admission of guilt?)"

2) The Mail reports that the BNP have just had a Councillor elected in a district council by-election in Sevenoaks, Kent. It is important to note that whilst the town is a Tory stronghold at Westminster it is a formerly strong Labour seat that the BNP have taken. The BNP are more likely to take votes in white Labour voting working class areas than elsewhere and Labour know it; hence the occasional dog-whistle policies on race issues being proposed by Labour at the moment. Labour don't mean it and the public know it, and they will continue to suffer at the polls.

3) Trouble on the streets on London as a child gang carry out a daylight robbery on a smart watch shop in London. Read more here; Labour London, what a great place to live in - thanks Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Jack Straw, etc. etc. etc.

4) Trouble on the streets of London as Somails and Afghans head towards a "race war on the streets of London. Read more here; Labour London, what a great place to live in - thanks Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Jack Straw, etc. etc. etc.

5) The sisterhood of the traveling (sic) shirt. Please note that the misspelling is theirs not mine.
