It's the Jimmy Cliff song. Cliff, however, does not appear to be a supporter. After the song was used by the party last year, the singer said he'd heard of Cameron, but preferred to support "the lower classes".
It's
Harry Houdini. Bullet Magnet is self evident, Widow Six-Seven is his call sign and Budgie "was [a commanding officer's] joke," said the prince, "stringing it in with the air thing. But the first morning I was flapping like a budgie."
The motion by Peter Kilfoyle criticised Robinson's blog entry that put forward his explanations why Speaker Michael Martin was escaping criticism in the expenses row. It had 73 supporters, compared to 71 in praise of Castro and 41 calling for Sir Bruce.
The rooftop of the House of Commons was occupied for three hours while Gordon Brown was taking part in prime minister's questions. See a picture of the protest on the next page.
In 1931, the Dogger Bank earthquake measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale happened in the North Sea near Great Yarmouth. No-one is thought to have been killed but a resulting tsunami caused flooding in east England. And in London the head of the waxwork of Dr Crippen at Madame Tussauds fell off. The 1984 one was in Nefyn, north Wales (5.4) and in 1990 it was Bishop's Castle, Shropshire (5.1).
Pagers have been superseded by text messaging, so the party has ordered MPs to hand theirs in by the end of the month.
It's Cameron Diaz, who wore a pale pink Dior gown by John Galliano (see next page). The dresses above are worn by, from left, Anna Hathaway, Heidi Klum and Helen Mirren.
