A peerage?.. Sign the agreement!
Almost missed this.. and that would nevah, nevah do. Simon Hoggart sharpens his quill and sketches the scene in the Commons as "the old Galapagos turtle" "slowly flippered his way into the chamber". Denis Skinner still in fine form too I see. And, completely unconnected to this post, or this one, honest, the House of Lords Law Lords have been awarded Political Turkeys of the Year in the Politics Studies Association Awards

read the title: "paisley lumbers in, looking for a peerage".

Has he decided to stand aside for the UUP in North Antrim???

Read the rest, Will. Denis Skinner is, as I said, in fine form still.

Hoggart is wonderful.
Small quibble pete - it was the Law Lords who got Turkey of the year.

One other thing ... Andrew Marr is excellent, but giving an award to an employee of the Currant Bun ?

I can hardly correct that, Davros!
