David Cameron no longer visiting Reading
Right. Remember that Cameron Direct event we wrote about? It was meant to be your big chance to put questions about the NHS straight to the Conservative leader, in person. But now it’s been postponed.
The dodgy weather’s to blame (that or he was just scared of getting a frosty reception – geddit?), and while we understand the snow and ice might make it difficult for people to get to the venue, we’re rather disappointed nonetheless.
Still, it does mean we’re now free at about 6.30pm tomorrow. Wonder if Gordon Brown or Nick Clegg would be willing to fill in instead.
If you’re really interested to hear what Cameron has to say about the NHS, the event will still go ahead online. You’ll be able to watch it on the Conservatives website.
Having said that, given the choice between watching our possible future Prime Minister online or having a swift one in the pub, we’ll probably choose the pub, and wait for the rescheduled event in Reading. Who knows, it might come during a closely-fought election campaign. That’ll be interesting.

A light dusting of snow and everything grinds to a halt!
