   There may well be one this election. Any favourites? The bookies are taking bets apparently. Jacqui Smith maybe?

   Oh, who's that foul ginger pixie woman? The one with the "Rocking the boat" brooch. Any chance that she might get the boot?
   By the way, to any red heads out there. She's a foul woman who happens to have ginger hair - her considerable gingerosity does not contribute to her foulness.

   Same goes for any pixies out there, of course.

   Blears - not a fan. Jacqui Smith is ok.

   My 'portillo' moment this year will be to watch George Osborne lose his seat.

   And Dave Cameron. And Brown, Darling, Cable, Clegg, Balls, Millibands, Theresa May, etc etc etc. Lets have an evening of Portillos.

   Peter Hain is my pet hate as a politician. Don't know why, maybe his arrogance. Ed Balls isn't a favourite either. Agree about Hazel Blears.

   As for Michael Portillo, I think he's become much more human since leaving politics, and is great double act with Diane Abbott on that programme with thingmy Neil.

   Fast forwarding, assuming quite a lot, who's the next Labour leader? Harriet Hormone?

   I think the next Labour leader will be Milliband, but he obviously wants to be PM so maybe he won't stand and let someone else take the heat for a while. I wonder if Mandelson would give it a whirl.

   I'd be quite pleased if Bob Ainsworth lost his seat and buggered off.

   My money's on Andy Burnham making a pitch.

   The moment it becomes mathematically impossible for the Bullingdon Club to get a majority but they're so thick they continue to argue the toss.

   Well, I can dream can't I?

    Shame Mandelson can't be voted out. Although he'd only come back anyway.

    Of course Mandleson would come back no matter what we did, the undead always do.

    I forsee an ugly incident in which Brown, after several hours brooding alone in his office at No. 10, makes a desperate grab for the briefcase containing the Nuclear launch codes while shouting "If I can't have my precious then nobody will!". After a brief scuffle he will be taken down with a massive dose of Thorazine administered directly to the jugular vein and bundled out of Downing Street through a back door and taken directly to the Fletcher Memorial Home.

    Still, I see NB is first with the news and Mr Mugabe has been busy with the polling stations and postal votes.

    My favourite "Portillo Moment" was when they showed Michael Portillo the "Portillo Moment" again. He is definitely not over it yet....

    Not sure if this has been mentioned on here yet, but yesterday the man himself had a nice blog piece on his fate:

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/may/06/portillo-moment-ed-balls-tonight

    You've got to admire a man with this kind of turn of phrase:

    "My name is now synonymous with eating a bucketload of shit in public."

    Nice quote.

    When he was a minister and I was much younger he seemed like the Antichrist, but now he seems like someone who would be a good dinner guest. I wonder if that was my prejudice at the time, or if the experience of eating shit in public changed him. Must be my middle age.

    Eating a bucketload of shit in public or in private, can't be very tasty though. I would prefer Battenberg any day.
