Just been speaking to David Davis about all the runners and riders who are throwing their hats into the ring to succeed John Prescott as Labour Deputy Leader. The story is still leading the BBC news bulletins. DD came out with a great one-liner..."It's a bit like visiting the death bed of a relative and saying 'can I have the car please'.
Classic.

A man who would know all about throwing his hat unsuccesfully into the ring talks to a man who knows all about unsuccesfully throwing his hat into the ring about...ermm, unsuccesful hat throwing.
David Davis, my favourite Politician, i'd have liked him to have been leader, but id rather have Cameron taking the party to power rather than Mr Davis not taking them to power....but i believe both WOULD...well one will!.
The Conservatives did, afterall, win the general election in England last time around, so the party shouldn't go out of its way to change too much!...no matter what they do Scotland and Wales will ALWAYS vote Labour regime.
He will be a brilliant Home Secretary in four years time.
no sign of the prezza story u hinted at on Friday.
still trying to think what it is though
surely everyone knows the other Prezza story. Go on to Guido and read the fuss over the first affair. There are some rather easy hints about the as yet untold story.
Ornette, I have noticed from your previous posts that you seem to have lost your asense of humour. Please do let us know when you have discovered it again.
Ornette clearly doesn't have a lot laugh about at the moment. Though in Prescott's case surely there are two Jags to give away.
Michael, was aware that there were a number of rumours flying about just wanted to know which one it was going to be. hope everyone is enjoying the summer weather it is tons better than winter.
Well I actually sputtered over my tea, so I thought it was funny ... the whole scenario drawn in that one sentence ...
David Davis is my favourite politician, too. The most grounded in real life; the easiest to relate to. I loathe posturing Dave with his smooth, fat, complacent face. There is absolutely no life experience etched there. It should be Derek Davis for PM and William Hague at the Home Office to hose out the stables.

Ornette - I understand that 'comedian' is not an aspiration of DD's. 'Politician' would seem to be what he has worked at all his life. I find that he has the ability to say something new, funny and unexpected about a national joke rather bracing.
Dave, on the other hand, has absolutely no sense of humour.

Ornette seems to suffer from a sense of humour bypass.
There were two people we in the Labour ranks did not want to be your leader.
1. Ken Clarke, even I wouldn't put my money on a GE victory with him in charge.
2. DD. This man is off the streets and is a council house kid who can fight back.
You picked baby giraffe who thinks he's more 'green' in his politics than your average Labour member.
It doesn't surprise me that DD has no sense of duty in making Prezza's life more of a misery. He didn't do it to Blunkett and he obviously is a man with a sense of honour.
You Tories are too thick to understand any of this but the public notice these gestures and warm to the honesty of it all.
Keep planting your trees "Dave" a sure fire winner.

When I hear Davis speak, I listen and he has something to say, which always makes complete sense. He is statesman-like and I would be proud for him to represent my country.
When I hear Cameron speak, I have no idea what he wants to convey. Its just full of soundbites with no substance and he would be more suitable to giving out awards at a film festival. Definitely what we would call a southern woolly woofter, rather than a man of the people.
