I think you'll find that many, many Conservative ministers over the past century have had beards...

Beard can also refer to something else...

Hague's retirement means a ridiculously safe Tory seat opens up, of course. Will it go to another high-flier (Hague's predecessor was Leon Brittan, who moved there in 1983 from abolished and marginal Cleveland & Whitby), or will the local party revert to its pre-1983 tradition of selecting well-liked local-ish dullards?

Hilarious. I await with amusement a) the response of the ousted Fuhrer (a splinter party perhaps?) and b) what happens when the new Fuhrer tries to find out where all the party's money has gone...

Well, now he isn't Tongue

(always fun when that happens, though. Nothing will top Claude Lévi-Strauss, I suspect).

The list of new peers is hilariously bottom-of-the-barrel.

There's currently an unseemly row to do with the administration of the Commons: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-28891458

What precedent there is suggests that polling right now would be of no use anyway; polling prior to the 1975 referendum showed a tight race...

Scientists remain rare in the Commons, particularly ones who are also Papal Knights. I can't say that I agreed with all his views, but I greatly prefer his style of Labour conservatism (so to speak) to that of the MP for the other half of Rochdale MBC... RIP.

Mick Cash has been elected as the new RMT General Secretary. Cash was Bob Crow's deputy and had been serving as his temporary replacement. He is on the ex-NUR 'right-wing' of the union and is a Labour Party member and defeated several candidates to his left (certain of which were to the left of the late Bob Crow as it happens).
