They're even power washing the pavement in Downing St now. Larry the cat has just run off in disgust.
Can only hope Larry got inside and did some of his own spraying....and worse. Imagine the MPs all sitting there eyeing each other up and saying "Jeez is that you?"
I'm sure he's allowed to, just not bring up anything from the budget.
I wonder if Ed Balls is prepared this time. His last performance was terrible.
Scrap that, EB doesn't speak today it's EM. EB will reply to autumn statement.

The budget will the the equivalent of moving peas around a plate.
Not a good tactic if anything he says or claims is contradicted when the Budget Speech is given.
But he is free to ask anything he likes within the bounds of reason.
Good news for the low paid like my grandson.
I'm on NMW, so good news for me right now. So those 'bloody tories', as people put it, better continue to be good to me.
I wish he would just stop saying "tax cut for millionaires". It strikes of desperation.
Apparently this will apply to the White, Red and Rosé Ale that hard working families have with Dinner
dont you mean tea?
He is not the only one - too much of last year's budget unraveled the weeks after - so Osbourne needs to be on the top of his game as well.
No doubt the headline in the sun newspaper tomorrow will be!! Its the sun that got it!!!
George has never heard of 'tea'..............he really needs a 'hard working family' advisor.................:D
Tax on tea started a war.
