For those playing the Buzzword Bingo, we’ll be playing the Lord Servile Rules which means players may bring a sub-machine gun along but have to deny it afterwards. Nail-bombs will be confiscated at the door. Bonus points will be awarded for combinations of Palin and Thatcher on the same card, BP and Obama, Ed Balls and Loser, and also for any reference to Belgium.

As usual the LiveBlog will also cover the entertainingly awful This Week, presented by Brillo in cahoots with his “resident helper” Michael Portillo. No sign as yet if it’ll be Flinty there for “balance”.

David Vance, TheEye and David Mosque will be engaged in legitimate crowd control here from 10:30pm.
