My blog for setting out what I'd do if I ever got into parliament.

Press Complaints
I would ask the Press Complaints Commission to establish a rule that if a newspaper story is found to be false, the apology and correction which followed must take up the same number of column inches as the original story.
33, liberal free-market Atlanticist, monarchist, political enthusiast, blogger, website builder, bon viveur, skier, film watcher, man of Kent, Old Harrovian, Durham University alumnus, master of engineering, son of London, kit car builder, yogi, iPod Touch aficionado, iPhone communicator, ex-public sector leech, consulting monkey. All round slacker.
Over the next few months I will be setting out the policies I would implement if I was ever elected to parliament. There will be a mixture of serious and amusing issues addressed, depending on the mood I'm in, but overall expect them to be slightly right of centre.
Feel free to post comments or email me.

Good one. And same position too - i.e. if the error is on the front page, so is the retraction.
