Tomorrow I shall be spending the day at the TUC Conference in Brighton.
Total Politics has a stand there, so I thought I would add a touch of glamour to the proceedings by handing out copies of our esteemed organ to the Comrades. There's even an interview with Brendan Barber in it, for good measure. And I gather Harriet Harman will be giving a speech in the afternoon. My delight at this prospect could only be surpassed if I were to find out that a certain Cabinet Minister of chipmunk-esque proportions were to be there too. Perhaps that would be asking too much.

Good on you Ian. There is absolutely no reason that Conservatives and ther Trade Unions should not talk.
As an aside I am ever more impressed by Alistair Darling. He talks a good talk, I do believe he is an honest dude and would make a far better PM than Gordon, bloody shame he walks like a stringed puppet though.
Harman giving a speech - Crikey, I'd better use the old telly as the screen is made of toughened glass and so won't crack.
Careful Iain ... you're getting a bit too 'Bleary-eyed' over a certain vertically-challenged socialist.
Wake up there !
Just a thought: what proportion of the population know the name of the general secretary of the TUC?
In the 60s and 70s it would be unthinkable for a reasonably educated person with an interest in current affairs not to know the name of the TUC general secretary. Now - I doubt if even 20 per cent of the population know what the intitals TUC stand for, let alone the name of its general secretary.
Remember to pack your donkey jacket.
This could be a good test of the phrase, "couldn't give it away"!
bbbbbbut but Total Politics is a tory front!
After your cheeky post "Top Ten Ways to Make the TUC Conference More Fun" you be careful now, you could look a bit of a charlie being pursued by one of the hefty comrades intent on doling out a well deserved whapping around the earhole with a rolled up free copy of 'Total Politics'.
Rather you than me.
I'd love to go but I'm having my testicles removed with a blunt knife.
So, today we've had a joke about Balls, a been-done-times-by every-single-Tory-blogger crack about Brown breaking a mobile phone in rage, and an offensive comment comparing the Prime Minister of the UK to an ape.
Perhaps tomorrow you can just be done with it and post fart noises?
If by that you mean women should be paid the same as men for doing the same job, yes of course. It's the law.
While you are there Ian can you ask them (UCAT) to hurry up with the three million cheap houses they are building. Then we can have a BOGOF type situation with houses. You may laugh but it is already happening in the US
