I have never quite bought the idea that the date of the general election is done and dusted. Although May 6 has been virtually inked in, it now seems April 15 is in play, given that the Conservatives’ poll lead is narrowing. Whenever it comes, at least the election should allow us to focus on a few things that really matter, rather all the nonsense about the England captaincy. I still think the most astonishing thing about John Terry is the fact that he’s paid £170,000 a week. If you had forgotten just how crazy is the world of Premier League football, that is surely reminder enough.

Meanwhile, new research claims ‘Motorway Man’ a distinctive category of floating voter, holds the key to election victory. Since there are no motorways in Dorset, a different term will need to be coined in the county for these specific people who will exert vital influence in swing seats.

Suggestions on a postcard please.

General amazement at Alastair Campbell’s performance on the Andrew Marr show yesterday, when he was apparently upset by the presenter describing his novel Maya as his “latest” work of fiction - a thinly-veiled reference to his role in WMD dossier. Hard nut Campbell losing the plot and coming over all emotional at something as tame as that? In the phrase uttered many times by the former spin doctor himself, sounds like “complete ********” to me.
