Total Politics EDM
EDM 1245 – TOTAL POLITICS MAGAZINE: That this House notes the impending launch of a purportedly politically neutral magazine called Total Politics; notes that it is fronted by Iain Dale, a failed Conservative parliamentary candidate; further notes that it is being run from Lord Ashcroft’s address in Cowley Street and that it is fronted by Lord Ashcroft; and calls upon hon. and right hon. Members to reject the free copies which will be sent to them in the near future.
But Iain had plans for an opt-out list all along, yes?
(Iain? Care to make a statement? There is going to be an opt-out facility, isn’t there?)

UPDATE (14 April) – As usual, Iain needs to be compelled to do the right thing; Total Politics: The Opt Out List
