Another twilight despatch from the Prof

This just in, though we note it was sent at 4.47 this morning ;

Research going better than expected. Photo as promised.

Could barely work yesterday afternoon with racket coming from yesterday's PMQs...

More show-boating from Clegg and Cameron for a general election. If the media buys that line without seeing their proposals for change and ensuring they're on the election agenda we'll have been sold a pup.

The real action was in the hour after Brown had finished speaking...

Harman stated she's now in favour of external regulation.

An apparent u-turn since we fronted her with the Misrepresentation of the People Act - she said external regulation negates Parliamentary sovereignty (please dig out footage from archive for posting on-line). Is this a genuine change in thinking or will her proposed Parliamentary Standards Authority be yet another 'independent' committee that simply reports back to the body it's supposed to regulate ?

I'll see if I can collar her - have found her office and am contemplating greeting her as she walks in for work.

Still trawling through Hansard. Librarian's extremely knowledgable. Can we put her on payroll ?

Nearly done here. Please send change of clothing.
