Tory Sleaze
Could there be more Tory sleaze stories still to come out in the wash? Certainly, Politics Home is reporting that the media have gained a renewed appetite for such items, and that Lord Ashcroft, amongst others, can expect a higher profile coverage.

Surprise, surprise, the narrative and momentum is slowly creeping back to the Labour Party, and Giles isn't blogging...
No doubt researching for a bumper post on Tory Economic Policy - can't wait!
