Jeremy Corbyn to raise question from one of his constituents in Cornwall, who is a pig farmer, whether his pigs are safe from the Tory government.

Brilliant Mimi, it doesn't even bear thinking about. Scary if true.

Pigs rush to leave Manchester after hearing that the Tories will be holding their conference there.

Me too bluebell, and for around 25 years, but I have to say I did miss a bacon sandwich. As off today my craving has gone completely!!!

Good gracious me! Every freshman at university is supposed [read forced] to do horrible things. In the Netherlands [long ago, I admit] some have died, drinking too much being the major part of it.

This was superb (a few swear words in it mind you) - Max and Stacey (not the Eastenders ones!) being interviewed by Chunky Mark. Hilarious.

PM Says He's 'Too Busy' To Sue Lord Ashcroft
David Cameron tells Sky News that he's not going to be "bothered" by lurid claims made against him by ex-Tory donor Lord Ashcroft
By Jason Farrell, Senior Political Correspondent
David Cameron has told Sky News he won't be taking legal action against Lord Ashcroft over his controversial biography because he is "too busy running the country".
But in his first television interview on the subject, the Prime Minister also hit out at the former party donor's book saying people would "see right through it".
The book makes a number of controversial claims including an allegation that while at university the Prime Minister took part in a bizarre student ritual involving a dead pig.
This had been dismissed as nonsense by sources close to the PM when it was published as part of a newspaper serialisation last week.
Mr Cameron told Sky News: "Frankly this book was written for a very clear reason and I think everyone can see right through it."
Then, asked if he would take legal action, he said: "No, I'm too busy running the country taking decisions, getting on with work.
"If you do a job like this, you do get people who have agendas and write books and write articles and write all sorts of things. The most important thing is not to let it bother you and get on with the job."
Lord Ashcroft - who gave the Conservatives £8m while the party was in opposition and led a drive to win marginal seats - has said he decided to write the book when Mr Cameron declined to reward him with a sufficiently senior job in government when he came to power in 2010.
Sky News also probed the Prime Minister on questions Lord Ashcroft raised about when Mr Cameron knew about his tax status.
The peer claims Mr Cameron knew he was a 'non-dom' in 2009, although when the story emerged in March 2010 the Prime Minister said he had only known about it for a month.
Mr Cameron said: "I dealt with all of that before the election and indeed we made a law to make sure you couldn't be a non-dom and sit in Parliament."

Wonderful piece of obsfucation by Cameron alluding to dealing with "this" before the election,as if the "this" was the non dom issue, when in fact the point is he lied when he claimed not to be aware of Ashcrofts status when according to the man himself he certainly knew!!!
