Newsnight's pro-Labour political editor found time to write serious, full-length posts about Lord Ashcroft recently, yet the cat seems to have got his tongue over this story.

I wonder why.

I see that he also took to the hills yesterday, handing over his Newsnight responsibilities to David Grossman again - after doing his little spin-job on Monday. I've noted his Macavity tendencies before, when there's trouble for Labour.

Don't worry Michael, it's Budget Day today. You can come out of purdah and spin for the government again to your heart's content. This scandal will go away. Your colleagues are working very hard on that already. The story has already disappeared from the homepage of the BBC News website. Relax!
