That private garden bridge in London has been approved.

What austerity.

"We didn't want any old bridge," says Richard De Cani, Transport for London's director of strategy and policy, who was instrumental in the Emirates Air Line cable car, east London's mostly empty aerial sponsorship opportunity. "We've got our lean, mean, efficient footbridges, like the Millennium and Hungerford, so we were interested in a bridge that did something else."

I made it to 81 in the Media Guardian's Power 100, beating the likes of Jeremy Paxman, Steven Moffat, Gary Lineker, Piers Morgan, and Kim Kardashian. Fitting really, as they all at least make 81 times the money I do.

A UKIP candidate for one of the party's target seats has apologised for offensive remarks made in a phone call.

Kerry Smith was selected for the South Basildon and Thurrock seat this week, after former Tory MP Neil Hamilton pulled out of the contest.

In a recording obtained by the Mail On Sunday, he is heard making offensive remarks about gay people, other UKIP members and Chigwell in Essex.

He later issued a "wholehearted and unreserved apology".

UKIP said the phone call was made some time ago, when Mr Smith had been prescribed sedatives after an injury.

During the recorded conversation, Mr Smith talks about UKIP's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) group and he can be heard jokingly referring to it as BLT UKIP, and adds "what the old poofter groups call themselves".

He jokes about "shooting peasants" from the Essex town of Chigwell and supporting "a peasant's hunt through Chigwell village".

Last week Mr Smith was chosen as UKIP's candidate for South Basildon and East Thurrock, a seat in which the party hopes to make a serious challenge.

A UKIP spokesman confirmed to the BBC that Mr Smith had apologised to the party's leader Nigel Farage for allegations made against him during the phone call - which Mr Smith has since retracted.

Patrick O'Flynn, UKIP MEP for the East of England, told BBC One's Sunday Politics that the phone call had been made "some time ago while he was on sedatives" and he had not been "speaking and thinking rationally". []

The UK Independence Party says it has expelled one of its councillors "for bringing the party into disrepute".

Rozanne Duncan is understood to have used highly racially offensive language during filming for a BBC documentary to be broadcast in February.

The party did not give the reasons for Ms Duncan's expulsion but said she had 28 days to appeal.

I've heard that story before, but it was Queen Victoria who needed the explanation. I suspect it's apocryphal on all counts.
