I see that in June David Miliband was voted top in a vote of the British politicians single gay men in the country would most like to take on a date. The Milipede received 39% of the votes beating David Cameron (20%) into second place, Douglas Alexander was third with 17%, Nick Clegg was fourth place with 13%, fifth came Alan Duncan with 11% (as far as I am aware the only gay politician in the top...

Full coverage of UK politics Douglas Alexander, the youthful international development secretary, is on Question Time tonight. So far, so ordinary. But it's QT's youth special, with an audience composed of school children. Cue much sniggering among Douglas' unkind colleagues. "Is he on the panel or in the audience?" asks one rather less fresh-faced minister. Don't take any notic...
