Sold! To the Tories!

OK, I'm not invigilating - got the week wrong.

Mark has sent me this: someone, bored by Nick Clegg whoring himself around the main parties, has put Clegg up for sale on EBay (sale withdrawn at £1m due to some petty clause about not selling humans: proud of yourself, Wilberforce?).


In today's irony news, the new Home Office minister and Minister for Equality has consistently voted against equal rights for homosexuals. Well done, Theresa May (but probably won't). She loved the Iraq war but didn't want an inquiry into it, adores nuclear weapons and hunting (voting record).

The Cabinet's up: depressing if you know who these people are, enigmatic if you're normal. I see that Cheryl Gillan (another millionairess with expenses problems - amongst other things, the taxpayers fed her dog), the Secretary of State for Wales left that country at 11 and never came back - she doesn't even represent a Welsh constituency. She opposed Wales's National Assembly and doesn't speak Welsh. Which means we can look forward to a repeat performance of John Redwood's triumph (though to be fair, speaking human would be an improvement on his normal approach):

Eur-r-r Theresa May as Home Secretary. That makes me shudder and feel slightly nauseous at the same time. I thought Cleggy might get that job, but probably best avoided, Home Secretaries always end up being hated and have to be moved on.

Zac Goldsmith's on the left of that picture, though I can see why you said right, that bloke looks like an complete twat.

Yes, revolting.
Thanks for the correction - changed now. He does indeed.
