The thing I like about BJ is the ideas seem to flow in a never ending torrent and they are all first class. He is not like other politicians, who come up with one thing, which they trumpet all over the place, or say nothing at all.

I truly respect the way David Cameron grabbed the leadership, that was totally well deserved. I also admired tremendously the way he strolled onto the stage at that Tory Conference, when he had been taking all the flack, and turned it all around with a really good speech and loads of savoir faire and aplomb.

However, I am deeply concerned about his enigmatic stance – the way he will not come out and say what he really stands for. Maybe it is just a supremely clever bluff – if you don’t say anything, you don’t offend anyone, and so you get voted in because people have nothing to object to. But it is not fair on the British people. We need to know more about what we are voting for and he needs to show more of the real person behind the mask by acting spontaneously.

Angie – I bet you anything that Cameron hangs by every word that Boris writes and says. It cannot be any coincidence at all.

In today’s London Standard, David Cameron says pithily he is planning to scraps MPs’ cheap meals and alcohol and wants to stop them “swanning around like Royals” in ministerial cars! I wonder if he read Boris’s column!

I am all in favour of the swapping cars for bikes thing and maybe meals could be less subsidised. Call me soft hearted though, I am beginning to feel a bit sorry for MPs, who now seem to be lower in status than estate agents and loan sharks. It wasn’t all of them who transgressed, but they are all getting the blame.

Also, rather than have David Cameron beat them up like recalcitrant kids, I would be more convinced that things were going to change if MPs all got together and made sacrifices themselves, rather than being pushed into it.

If he likes to show his chipolata to all and sundries, it’s up to him. It’s a good job he did not show it in Afghanistan or his chipolata would have shrunk into a sultana. What a disgrace, though.

Anyway, latest news is that one of Brown’s minister has quit and launched a devastating criticism of Brown’s handling of the war in Afghanistan and the release of the Lockerbie bomber.

“Gordon Brown has a habit of going commando in his tartan mini jupe which was specially made-to-order by Jean Paul Gaultier”

Shouldn’t you write “allegedly” when making this comment? I don’t mind the bit about going commando, (an old Scottish custom) but do you honestly believe that Gordon Brown has the taste to buy a kilt from Jean Paul Gaultier?

I do think minsterial cars should be axed this would save money and would show the government is going green and mean it plus they would then know what the general public have to put up with as regards to public transport and this includes how much the fares actually cost.Also exspenses should be kept to minmum. Ministers should only charge expenses when they actually come to london to sit in the house of commons

Britain has been accused of ” bare-cheeked lies ” (!!!) over the Lockerbie bomber’s release which will damage its special relationship with the US for years and years. Oh dear. Oh dear.

I’m not surprised the Yanks used the word ” bare-cheeked lies ” about Brown, seeing as it is that our British Scottish Gordon Brown has a habit of going commando in his tartan mini jupe which was specially made-to-order by Jean Paul Gaultier. A trend of which even Carla Bruni had to say: ” I would not dream of tottering around Paris in a mini jupe sans-panty like that man, showing my [Ed. Inappropriate comment] to all and sundries! “. Oh, la la.

Gordon Brown is facing a backlash at home and abroad after it was confirmed that Brown told Libyan dictator General Gaddafi’s son that Brown did not want the Lockerbie bomber to die in the Scottish jail. Brown’s spokesman confirmed: ” As you all know that now the secret papers have revealed that the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown talked to Libyan General Sir Gaddafi’s son. I would like to confirm that Gordon Brown, indeed, did tell Libyan General Sir Gaddafi’s son that he would order the Scottish government to release Sir Abdelbaset Al Magrahi from their jail at once. ”
