Paxman on Newsnight said it was at Eric Pickles' party and police were called in respect of one or more journalists...

Edit to Add:
Now confirmed: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7973346.stm

When talking about a "fracas" I like the Beeb's wording in the first paragraph:
Police have dealt with an incident in Parliament involving guests attending a party thrown by the Conservative party chairman Eric Pickles.
That Mr Pickles seems to be a proper lobber.


Also - Commons authorities confirmed the incident was not terrorist related or linked to the G20 meeting of world leaders in London later this week
Well that's a relief

My favourite headline of the day concerned the trial of one of the former Khmer Rouge leaders. I can't recall where I saw it or the exact wording, but the gist of it was "Former Khmer Rouge executioner faces victims in Court". Did they not see the problem with that?
