Labour MP Tom Watson has a weblog and is using it to lay into Tory opponent Bill Cash MP, whose politically sensitive mobile phone conversation he overheard on a Monday morning train.

Cash retorts in The Mirror:

“If people are listening in to other people’s conversations - and in my view misinterpreting them - then I think that’s a very great shame.”

Which annoys Watson:

No, no, no Mr Cash you can not get away with that. You know I didn’t misinterpret anything. Continue down this road and I will have to reveal the rest of the conversations we all had to endure. In fact I might do anyway.…..

If this is anything to go by, the next election is going to be fun.
