First of all - thanks DT2004. You got me. Regular readers of these Diaries know I'm not beyond a typo or two.

Second, the Conservatives and Unionists have hit back, pointing out that in the economy section of their manifesto the DUP say "we need low interest rates and must reign back public spending and invest more wisely."

Yes that's "reign" as in the thing Queen Victoria did for a long time, rather than "rein" as in govern, restrain, control or the thing you pull on when your horse is galloping out of control.

I think I should probably withdraw my candidacy from this spellection on the grounds that you will all be pulling me up next on both my spelling and punctuation. But if you spot any other good ones in anyone's election pamphlets feel free to let me know via the comments page.
