Spot on with Nick Robinson, he's so far up David Cameron's arse it's unbelieveable!
On other notes, News at Ten was great last night, no adverts gave a full 25 minutes of news, just a pity it was such a slow news day.
And finally, Julie Etchingham has gone up in my estimation. BBC Five was moaning about it yesterday, they're worried.

ITV want a 'classic' news show to appeal to viewers who the research said were fed up with perching, walking, talking, simpering and superficial twoways. It's the anti kaplinski.
They wanted a show that was familier but would not look out of place in 2008.
That is what they got.
I really dont understand how anyone can bitch about the rendering of big ben, when a swooping flyby of a perfically lit river thames is not exactly a natural point of view.. Not right for you? why? the chances are your expecting a certain 'look' for news titles and that itself makes your preconceptions a cliche.
You should watch it, and in context ,to offer a valid opinion.
It looks like ITN and feels familier: Job done.
In a 200+ channel age faces like Trevor may look out of place, but he's got the recognition factor for channel hoppers. Huw Edwards at 10 doing a (pointless) 2way a dreary enviroment reporter then a party line report from Nick Robinson is a massive switch off for viewers in places like the North West, North East and Yorkshire - flip to cosy old trevor and some new girl (on sky her average audience was in the tens of thousands rather than millions) bingo. ratings.
The virtual set is impressive - and having been spending far to much with time orad, brainstorm and rtsw demos I have seen alot of so-so examples - and Mr Smith and Mrs Patel at home would not be able to tell you the BBC use a real wall and ITV a green screen.
Shame it launched on such a dull news day - even channel 4 news was struggling a bit last night.
