Listen to Radio 1 Newsbeat tomorrow evening

Writing about yet another reason why finals suck from Hub of Creativity...

Why? Because I'm gonna be on it! Yeah, well – I know someone who knows someone and long story short I'm going to London tomorrow to join a panel of voters for a grilling of Tory leader (and alleged vampire), Michael Howard.

Apparently they've already got someone asking him about tuition fees, which is a shame because I had an amazing question which was actually going to ruin the Conservative campaign. So I've got to think of something else to ask. That's where you, dear reader, come in. Suggest something for me to ask him and, being highly optimistic about this appeal, I'll pick the best one. I'm leaving first thing tomorrow, so have your comments posted by midnight at the latest, okay?

Course, they might just give me a lame pre-approved question to ask him. But listen in, either way!

    Ask him "Why are you jumping on populist bandwagons such as the Daily Mail hatred for travellers and immigrants?

    Ok, thought of another one: "The election doesn't seem to have engaged many people. Is this a result of parties being too similar or is it because that's what the parties want it to be like (i.e. they're only engaging with the swing voters)?

  3. Every time Michael Howard comes on telly, my Mum and I both say 'I come from Transylvania' in silly accents. Has anyone else noticed that he is in fact one of the undead?

    Only everyone who reads The Guardian – after Steve Bell started portraying Howard as a vampire.

    I think I'll ask him if he was tempted – after that whole anti-semitic flying pigs poster – of running an offensively anti-Scottish ad campaign, seeing as Blair, Brown and Kennedy are all alcoholic, miserly, bad-tempered Scotsmen.

    For the benefit of those of you who don't wear sandals and munch muesli, that's Steve Bell the cartoonist.

    Update: in 25 minutes or so, you'll hear me fluffing a question to the leader of the opposition on national radio.
