thinking of going to the high court tomorrow to seek a ruling that would force the BBC to use Fahrenheit in its weather reports, because people of a certain age cannot get to grips with Celsius. It would have done more justice to the heat to say that the temperature was 98 degrees rather than a modest sounding 36.7. It won’t happen – but worth a try. Those who voted Corbyn in the belief that he would bring a different style of leadership to politics may get what they wished for. No Dicks, please
Arguably the greatest service the new Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell, ever performed for the Commons was to unseat Terry Dicks, his ghastly predecessor as MP for Hayes and Harlington.Dicks had many obsessions, one of which being the way MPs dressed. In one 1984 outburst he? attacked Corbyn for dressing in an “appalling” polo-neck sweater – and Harriet Harman for wearing jeans and a sweater. “Any resemblance between her and a lady was entirely coincidental,” he spluttered. Badgering
The National Farmers’ Union tell me they welcome the appointment of Kerry McCarthy as Labour’s Shadow Environment Secretary. Last October, TV presenter Bill Oddie led a squad of nature lovers into the countryside to oppose the culling of badgers. One MP accompanied him. It was Kerry McCarthy. Not much of a meeting of minds in prospect there. Aussie rules
When news came through that the Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, had been sacked by his own party, just as his former opponent Julia Gillard was sacked by hers two years ago, Tony Blair’s old spin doctor Alastair Campbell tweeted in awe: “My God those Aussies do not mess around when it comes to dumping leaders who clearly aren’t up to it.”Could he possibly be thinking that this was an example to emulate somewhere closer to home?Read more: news/uk/politics/jeremy-corbyn-shadow-cabinet-the-labour-leaders-frontbench-in-full-10500076 Jeremy Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet in full

He was going to set a precedent by “sacking” his tiresome constituent. To ram the point home, he posted the man a copy of the relevant issue of Hansard.His antagonist did not like that, and complained to Sussex police that being sent an anonymous package was harassment. The police issued the MP with a police information notice (Pin), warning him to desist or risk being prosecuted.Today Mr Richards and Assistant Chief Constable Robin Merrett had to appear before the Commons Privileges Committee and make the embarrassing admission that they did not know there was an Act of Parliament passed in 1840 which means that no MP can ever be prosecuted for anything published and issued by Parliament.“By issuing a Pin, by taking this position to the crazy extent to which the police have – that has exacerbated the situation out of all control,” Mr Loughton complained. “The notion that... the mere sending of the parliamentary record of the House of Commons can constitute an offence of harassment is extraordinary, bizarre and deeply worrying for the way we do our business…” The Chief Constable admitted his knowledge of parliamentary privilege was “not as strong as it should be” and said sorry.
