Will be taking a short break off the bench with a 2 week gig in Bristol.
First time back in UK for 2 years and they put the Booze up 2%.
Not what I would call welcome back to the land of my birth.

Anybody know why Michael Martin was not acting as speaker today ?

The deputy always does the budget by tradition. He was in the chair for PMQ's.

A smarter way would be to join in with the French - their sub missiles are underrated and with shared costs it could have been great, but it's impossible for this country to resist US pressure when it comes to Trident.
