I posted 15 Facebook status updates over the past 48 hours. Some friends have emailed with concern that I'm not getting enough work. Something to ponder but I choose to take the view that my inner politico has shelved all pesky work deadlines until I have given a full and frank commentary on the state of the political nation.

I have started to think I missed my calling as a political journalist. A sample of my status updates below. I'm sure you'll agree.

2030: Livid. TV not working, in news hole on biggest news day of the year. comforting behaviour going on in the form of fishfingers, chips and beans dinner.

2035 Love the cinematic theme toon on BBC 24

2040 I feel a bit sick. It's the pudding face wot done it

2050 Bet Queenie loves it

2055 Who takes the top bunk?

2357: Go to work on a Cl(egg)!

0030 Ye gads, George Osborne as Chancellor. The world will think none of us have facial bone structure.
