Assuming that we are not all covered in ash like some latter day Pompeii, this evening I for one will be rushing home to see the election debate and what tax plans our illustrious leaders have for plugging the humungous national debt.

I see that all UK flights have been cancelled; reliant as I am on trains, I can already hear the announcement that ‘trains are subject to cancellation and delay due to volcanic ash on the line’ (this should be spoken in a nasally tone through a long cardboard tube to achieve the full depressing effect).

Let’s hope that this eveings debate doesn’t again degenerate to the level of the playground, what with Peter (sorry Lord) Mandelson saying that David Cameron has a ‘toffee nose’, and yah, boo, sucks to you too.

It looks like Gordo and Davey are already picking their gangs for the final playtime punchup; Davey has over 100 business leaders on his side who want the NIC increase called off and I hear that ‘Gordon’s Gang’ now includes 77 leading economists.

Handbags (or should that be 'manbags') at dawn by the sounds of it.
