Certain internet rumours are probably left uncommented on.

No doubt it'll be an anti-climax anyway... should we be talking about the same thing, of course.

I wonder how many of the names on the Barnsley shortlist will appear on this one. Just down the road, after all.

Just had a read through some of them, and at least four tweets specifically name an individual....

One of the candidates on the Middlesbrough shortlist, Mahroof Hussain, is a councillor in this constituency (and stood in Sheffield Hallam in 2005).

I'm please MacShane's gone.  It would have been ridiculous to leave Rotherham without an MP for a year as the committee's recommended punishment suggested, the offence seems bad enough to say that he should go, and he was never one of my favourite Labour MPs anyway.

Don't really disagree, although MacShane did have his good points. Suspect that whoever replaces him will be significantly more boring, but probably a much better MP.

Newsnight is on in fifteen minutes. Oddly for something driven by the internet, this has the feel of an old-fashioned television event. A rather tasteless one, mind.

No one was mentioned of course. No doubt the chairman put a stop to it. It is not constructive to name any names of course, we shouldn't make this into a public 'referendum' less it resonate all the way to Australia.

Yes, in the end they were never likely to as libel law is what it is (amongst other reasons). Have to wonder what the day will do to Newsnight's (already rather battered) reputation, and also where the story goes from here.

Certainly you get the impression that Newsnight will probably not be using the Bureau for Investigative Journalism again.

I had no idea that the Secret State was (loosely) based on A Very British Coup, nor that it was set in Teesside! Will definitely be watching. I enjoyed the C4's actual adaptation of the book, even if it did needlessly change some fundamental parts.

Nadine Dorries gets Tory whip suspended for going on reality show in Australia

Kind of difficult to talk about abortion with a mouthful of insects.
