Michael Taylor managed to name check Marple on the telly and then thoroughly destroyed Hazel Blears on local BBC show 'our economy'

For anyone who missed it, the replay is here on iPlayer:

The exchange is at about 24:35 where Michael took Hazel Blears to task for using emotive language about public sector workers rather than doing something positive and promoting local entrepreneurship.

Hazel Blears is just awful; an opportunistic intellectual lightweight. It's frightening to think she had responsibilities for policing and counter-terrorism when she was in government.

Thanks chaps. All in a day's work. I mentioned Marple on the radio this morning while doing the paper review on Gordon Burns' Sunday morning show.
