Gay Gordon Brown has cleared that Patel Justice Minister over his expenses fiddle but he refuses to publish details of his investigation to show us why they decided to clear him (??!!).

How do we know that that Patel did not do anything wrong if gay Gordon refuses to let the public and the press see the details of his investigation?

Clearly, gay Gordon is too scared to lose another one of his ” ministers ” for their stealing taxpayers’ money and more bad publicity. You can tell that Patel is guilty by his shifty look in the photo.

However adept Lord Mandelson is at ducking and diving in an interview, one thing he clearly is not is honest.

Boris Johnson says he is “militant” about cycling.

It’s an interesting word for an Eton boy who earns nearly a quarter of a million for writing safe dross for one or 2 publications.

He wasn’t militant enough to stand up to those who didn’t want the western extension of the congestion charge, which would have given cycling a huge boost.

Mel: agree that any party that polls worse than the Cornish Independents (agreeable people though the Cornish Independents undoubtedly are) in a major election needs to see they are facing annihilation. Tory vote nationally was strong – but much more hearts and minds needed. I can’t remember who said it first but, “It’s the last step that counts.”

I like this quote of Boris’s:

“Labour MPs despair of Gordon Brown. They recognise that he is leading his party to something like annihilation at the next election.”

Quite honestly, I’m amazed at the hardness of the PM’s carapace.

It’s impervious to any and all attacks. We should be mass-producing it as body armour for the British Army.

Tom Bower on SKY five minutes ago.

“Lord Mandelson is a strategist. what he is really doing is manoevring to ultimately replace Brown as the caretaker leader, while seeking to support him”.

Aha! So in saying about Gordon “I like his calmness under fire” he is (a) kidding the PM that he is his strongest protector and defender and (b) rubbing in to us, the people, that Gordon is not calm under fire!

Mixed messages………
