I'm finishing two days in a Premier Inn and having breakfast, doing a bit of light work on my laptop and vaguely thinking I could live here. What do I really need? I've got bed, a desk, wi-fi, a shower and unlimited breakfast sausages. Then I realised I've become Alan Partridge.

It's a tragedy that the BBC is so cowed by fear of Tories chopping them up and selling bits off that this article buries the lede that 88% of Tory political ads mislead as compared to 0% for Labour. Still, they published it, which is better than nothing.
