Yesterday Gordon Brown taunted David Cameron with the paltry 26 e-signatures on a Downing Street election petition. I checked it today, and Mark Batty’s petition seems to have 7159 signatures. Amazing what a bit of prime time publicity will do. I wonder at what level the gag is deemed to backfire? We’ve all moved on, haven’t we.

PS Update. Oh no, we haven’t. Belatedly I see this is all over the Beeb and the dodgo-blogosphere; even on Newsnight. Shd have checked. And it’s now 8015.
