Peter Ainsworth Spotted Who he? you may ask. He is the tory who leads on DEFRA or as they are calling it now the hug a husky department. So you saw him in parliament or making some speech? No it was not long after PMQ's as I was walking from Birkbeck to Victoria. Hell I need the exercise and I was about to cross the road next to the national portrait gallery entering Trafalgar Square from a north easterly direction when I my eye chanced upon a furtive looking figure.

I would recognise the hair anywhere, you can check it out here, so the coat collar up around his neck was not much of a disguise. He was heading in the opposite direction to me into the west end. Perhaps it was all innocent but I just got this vibe that he was up to something. Then again he is a tory so he would generally be up to something as a rule.

Anyway electors of East Surrey your MP was AWOL from parliament on wednesday lunchtime when he should have been working in the palace of westminster. Didn't see any Labour MP's AWOL on my travels so best kick him out at the next election if you want an MP to actually do something useful rather than swan about the west end of London.  ¶ 11:13 pm
