After Gary McKinnon lost his latest High Court bid to avoid extradition to the US for hacking into military computers David Cameron issued a statement: "I am deeply saddened and disappointed with this decision. Gary McKinnon is a vulnerable young man and I see no compassion in sending him thousands of miles away from his home and loved ones to face trial. If he has questions to answer, there is a clear argument to be made that he should answer them in a British court. This case raises serious questions about the workings of the Extradition Act, which should be reviewed.” (Iain Dale has blogged a reaction).

Telegraph calls for Alan Duncan to go in shadow cabinet shake up
"Alan Duncan's record as shadow leader of the Commons has been
dismal, particularly during the expenses scandal, when the way he had
handled his own claims was called into question. His performance as the
Tories' representative on the Members' Estimate Committee, which sets
MPs' allowances, has been little short of abject. Theresa May, too, has
made little impact at work and pensions. Obvious candidates for
promotion include the talented Ben Wallace, the first MP to publish all
his expenses online; Grant Shapps, who has impressed with the housing
portfolio; and Mark Lancaster, who has done likewise with international
development. Mr Cameron should also act on his hint that some of the
old guard will return." - Telegraph leader

Nick Clegg advocates televised debates between the party leaders
"If Gordon Brown believed in the Labour party and his own record, he would be champing at the bit to hold this debate. I'm eager because I want people to know about Liberal Democrat policies, and I want the opportunity to explain why Labour and the Conservatives would take us in the wrong direction. Labour's time is up, and the Conservatives think it's automatically their turn, but I think in these difficult times we need to do something altogether different." - Nick Clegg in The Independent
