Good grief. With friends like Blair, Brown doesn’t need enemies. The Observer reports:

Tony Blair has told his closest political allies that if David Miliband challenges Gordon Brown for the Labour leadership ‘he will win’.

While acknowledging the historic nature of the DUP’s decision to go into government with Sinn Fein (albeit with a delay), Peter Hain has left the door open for a delay on the 26th March deadline. If DUP and Sinn Fein agree on a delay, then, he says, that’s OK. And Sinn Fein have said that the DUP must talk directly to them to allow a delay.

Crikey. It’s a good job no-one is holding their breath.

Now that Jack Straw has been announced as Brown’s leadership campaign manager, it seems that we know the names of both the next PM and the Chancellor.

This site has been recommended to me by friends at work. They have raved about it, saying you can save a fortune on it. I have sent the link to my wife for her review. Her middle name is “reduced for a quickie”, so she should be able to give me an objective view on it.

I have gone off normal black tea. After experimenting with green and red tea, I have now found the tea for me. White tea.

I know its cheap ITV tea time trash, but I thoroughly enjoy Harry Hill’s TV burp. While being a mainstream comedian, he seems to incorporate a remarkable intellectual sharpness into his comedy. As a tribute, I have enshrined one of his zanier quotes in my sidebar.
