I listened to Liberal Democrat Lynne Featherstone on Friday gone, as she told the TUC’s LGBT conference that she fully supported them. This talk was followed by a Q&A session, cut very short because she had more important things to do. The questioning, as you might expect, was slanted towards “why have the Liberals [...] When we elect a Mayor to our local Councils, his job is to be an impartial ambassador for the Borough you live in. When you elect someone to Mayor of London, their job is a bit more involved. Bikers have been protesting in Westminster to say no to the motorbike parking charges. [...] Well before the General Election, I gave some examples of how politicians were trying to fundamentally meddle with the BBC’s political independence. I sat down to watch Question Time last night, and nearly spat my teeth out when Dimbleby announced that Cameron’s Government would only send a representative if Alistair Campbell was not on [...] Conservative leader David Cameron has stood behind Philippa Stroud, amid allegations that she was part of a group which sought to ‘cure’ homosexuality using prayer and spirituality.

It certainly gave the Lib Dems, Labour and Peter Tatchell something to talk about whilst considering which Easter egg they’d open first. Today, [...] Michael Gove is the shadow education secretary. He’s been having a go at Labour because it gets money from Unite, the trade union. The British Airways employees who voted to strike, are part of Unite. Would it have made any difference if they were part of a different union? Quite why, I’m not sure. [...] George Osborne, the man who David Cameron put in charge of his finances, and the man who would become Chancellor if the Tories get in a position of power, has been on the BBC News Channel again.
