What a difference a day makes

What a difference a day makes.

And the impending Cabinet reshuffle ensures a new set of faces will be jostled into new roles in a desperate attempt to regain the country’s confidence.

But first, three cheers for Richard Bailey, who I joined on the campaign trail in Huntingdonshire last weekend, for his resounding and much deserved success.

And three cheers for Antony Little too, who was successful in Norwich. We worked together last year during the general election campaign when Antony stood against Charles Charke. He is now the second Tory councillor on Norwich City Council.

They will be sitting alongside the Green Party who won four seats, making a total nine Green councillors, the most in the country.

Unfortunately, it was a bad result for Cambridge where the only existing Conservative councillor was defeated. The city council will be made up of 29 Lib Dems and 13 Labour.

But the mood of the country is unequivocal, people are ready for a change. Labour is on its way out.

Why today is John Prescott’s day

Uninhibited blonde celebrates No Pants Day
Straight faced “pantless” commuter

While Labour reflects on its humiliating defeat in local council elections, John Prescott will no doubt mull over the part his Viagra-charged actions played.

And he will need no arm twisting to enjoy the theme of the day being celebrated across the pond - No Pants Day, an event that will raise his flagging spirits and stir the fire in his aching loins.

Celebrations include a rally in Austin, Texas, as well as miniature golf and frisbee throwing. Others will enthusiastically be participating in pantless pub meeting and pants on bikes.

Judging by the pics, you carry on with your normal day - sans pants.

You’ve no doubt gathered that No Pants Day means shedding your lower outer garment, as well as your inhibitions.

No Pants Day is always held ont he first Friday of May , it started around 1985 and is celebrated by students, businessmen and community leaders who want to live life a little less seriously, at least for a day.

The No Pants website raises the question that in Britain, “pants” means underwear and shouldn’t it be called No Trouser Day instead? For once, this gives them the opportunity to have a laugh on us.

Have a nice day - and go on, I dare you …..
