It's a deserted LCC newsroom this lunchtime (I'm in here trying, and failing, to fix some online audio links - all the audio's disappeared off the system, which is always a blow), so I've put Radio 2 on. First thing I heard? Fenella Fudge reading the news, which was very pleasant since she came to give us LCC folk voice coaching last term, and was very good at it too.

And on the news she read, mention of the Electoral Commission wanting one-to-one meetings with the treasurers of both the Labour and Conservative parties over these allegations that they've both been taking dodgy loans in return for favours. What's the point of a meeting with the Labour treasurer?! He's already bloody admitted he didn't have a clue!

"Hello Mr Dromey, glad you could make it. Have a seat."
"Thanks."
"So, what can you tell me about your party's operations with regard to these loans."
"Nothing."
"Can you give us any information on this?"
"Not a bean."
"Thank you very much for coming Mr Dromey, I'll show you out."
