Apologies for the lack of posting, but small amounts of real-lifeishness have temporarily interrupted the flow. This graph, spotted on PoliticsHome, though, is rather worrying. How on earth has the pill-popping onion-dabbing, Nokia-throwing, secretary-slapping, printer-destroying one-eyed son of the manse managed this trick, eh?

Although the only reason you’d give Gordoom a “second look” is if you were wondering how best to scrape it off your shoe, a few polls like this have got the trolls out in full force at ConservativeHome, George Osborne is flapping around wanting to sell our own stuff back to us, and that senile old duffer Heseltine is muttering dark things to the matron at his nursing home about betting on hung parliaments.

Could it all be going horribly wrong for the “Anyone but Gordon” majority in the country? Never fear, because the Mail on Sunday rides to the rescue with the marvellous information that “David Cameron has been secretly advised to stare at Gordon Brown in televised Election debates to make him feel uncomfortable.“
