  1. Sarah Bell is on duty for the Lib Dems, er sorry BBC today (Sunday). I wonder if that will make a difference to who gets the coverage?

  2. Well, now that you mention it Ryan...

    4 posts reviewing Nick Clegg's interview with Andrew Marr were followed by:

    1017: nitawol tweets: I wish Andrew Marr would let Nick Clegg answer his questions and stop interrupting all the time.

    I bet there are no tweets quoted next week that say 'I wish Andrew Marr would let David Cameron answer his questions and stop interrupting all the time'!
