Trailing yet what will no doubt be another meaningless, platitudinous interview - which is due to appear in the Guardian Weekend tomorrow - Gordon Brown is quoted in this article as saying that the internet has changed foreign policy for ever; and on the subject of Mandelson he is reported as saying that there was now a "common purpose" between the two of them.
Never mind foreign policy the internet has changed politics for ever, you idiot - witness the additional 'tidbits' that bloggers have unearthed from the redacted expenses as but one example . As for his having a 'common purpose' with Mandelson - tad unfortunate choice of two words there, Old Bean! (memo to self: cable ack to Vince re use of 'Bean').
As for the Labour party appreciating Mandelson's talents and having great affection for him......well, all one can say is that as a right-wing libertarian it has always been thought that socialists had queer ideas....
Just a few thoughts.........
Update: If one wants to read a serious review of the Brown/Mandelson relationship, then try this.
