Sadly we'll have to make do reading his column in the Observer, which as Graham points out, is just a vehicle for political spin. This week he tells us that Hyndburn is a property hot-spot. Hardly good news if you are a young couple trying to get on the housing chain. He also says it was featured on 'Kirsty and Phil's 'Location, location' programme'. It wasn't. It was a programme hosted by the said duo, but was called 'Top Ten Places to Buy', and was aired five months ago.

Come on Peter, keep it accurate and topical.;)
