Points

While Newsnight was filling a third of its time with something about height-based humour, it could not find the space, any more than could anyone else, for the fact that the Treasury had refused to sign off on Universal Credit. That was confirmed to Parliament yesterday.

Likewise assumed to be on no interest to the viewing and voting public was the news that Andy Coulson was to stand trial in Glasgow for perjury allegedly committed while he was the Prime Minister's Director of Communications.

But the most deafening silence of all related to Labour's seven-point lead in two authoritative polls. That would deliver an overall majority of 80.

That lead, remember, was and is without the public's even having been informed of either of the above. Or, indeed, of very much else about this Government's actions and associations.

No news is good news. Isn't that right?
