MPs Face Christmas Starvation

If you have had a Christmas invite from Adam Price, Bob Spink, Angus MacNeil, David Taylor, Andrew Dismore, Brian Iddon, Paul Holmes, Andrew George or Keith Vaz then my advice to you is cancel quick. In the event of not much news such as today (I'm holding on the cash for honours until Blair feels the long arm of the law...tick tock) I wander to have a look at what EDMs are floating about and spotted EDM number 2823. "That this House is shocked at the news that the Christmas hamper firm Farepak has gone into administration; recognises that the families that have invested money in the hamper scheme will be left facing a difficult Christmas period; and calls on the Minister responsible for consumer affairs to investigate the matter". Clearly there will be bread and water at these various MPs' houses as their hamper selling scheme means that ideas of stilton, ham and Christmas pudding is clearly fading away into the Advent sunset.
