Yesterday's PMQs is the subject of much discussion: Fraser Nelson gives a passable impression of an online orgasm, whilst the Times' Ann Treneman welcomes the return to normal service;
Revolts' Phil Cowley has a good couple of posts analysising the rebellion over the Welfare Reform Bill and the shenannigans surrounding the UK Youth Parliament saga;

Signs of ennui at the Telegraph as James Kirkup tries to flog the decomposing horseflesh that is the is-there-going-to-be-a-snap-election non-story;
Paul Linford examines the 2007 Deputy Leader election, and looks to Labour's future;
The latest ICM poll for the Guardian reports no change for either the comrades or the Bullingdon massif (30 and 42 points respectively), but Nicky Clegg's lot seem to have gained two points. Must be the haircut;
Much hilarity from the Standard's Paul Waugh (here and here) over the Labour Party's answer to Charlie Dimmock and Alan Titchmarsh;
The Daily Mail has some unstated opinions for those mums who selfishly aren't anorexia-ing themselves down to a size zero as soon as they've fired out their contribution to the next generation. Edifying;
... and Rachel Sylvester in the Times warns the Tories that real political character comes out under pressure. So be afraid, be very afraid.
