@tonytheartist Dominic Grieve MP, Shadow Justice & responsible for Leicester in Tory front bench team.
As ever @dailypolitics ignores favourable Angus Reid poll (& Political Bettings golden poll rule) for least favourable.
@Ultra_Fox DG is able to operate outside of his personal area, unlike it seems so many from the left.
@tonytheartist non are ex our payroll - seems v light on expertise since I was elected - 5yrs
@tonytheartist you should see the money Council spends on consultants trying to keep control of schools.
@tonytheartist if they were all academies they would have more resources to spend on pupils improving education & general welfare of kids
RT @bbcpolitics Treasury wanted a tougher budget to tackle UK deficit but was overruled by No 10, the BBC has learned. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2...
How will @Ultra_Fox cope with BBC going off message. Accuse them of becoming Fox news too?
@Ultra_Fox ah, has the bunkers post PBR narrative gone wrong?
@tonytheartist the Samworth academy has no selection criteria on religion.
@Our_Man_Flint I just need emails and will.
Academies is a model Leicester should build on for all our schools.
Visited the Samworth Academy today. Very impressed by facilities, staff, culture & most importantly pupils.

I won't sit in an empty room like a lone BSG colonial officer for the Deputy CX. I only do that for surgeries.
Possibilities for #AmpLeic to consider - just imagine, could be massive. http://www.leicester.gov.uk/newssit...
@tonytheartist Have a look at the link I posted about 5 mins ago. Could fund your internet access?
@Ultra_Fox Perhaps you should think about Leicester rather than trawling for stories across the UK knocking us. Just a thought.
@Ultra_Fox What about your government policies. Is this the end of consessionary fares? Already cost us £1m over the funding.
@tonytheartist on economics agree, at least about paying back all. Need to pay of some of £1.4tr
@tonytheartist yes, I doubt not mentioning any intention to do so will. We'll see when credit rating comes in.
@jobsworth You warned us about trying to restrict access. #ampleic
@Ultra_Fox what are the 1997 2009 unemployment figs to cf? You think up the hashtag to go with.
**PBR NEWS** Little Detail on Cuts - But Free Bus Fares Hit: Darling has done very little to tell us about wher... http://leicesterpolitics.blogspot.com/2009... #fb
No mention of paying back the horrific borrowing figures. #pbr
Harriet Harman is doing a nodding dog impression and Dougie Alexander suddenly very amused with himself. #pbr
Brown grins as AD announces VAT return to 17.5% and no other changes. Doesn't get seriousness of the public finances.
Who has no policy to deal with the deficit now? Darling dodges any detail on spending cuts. #pbr
@ollyvale agree on the majority but really useful for project work - which is why the Google roll out has not been helpful. Refused AmpLeic
