Remember
THIS from just before Christmas, when I reported that Ed Miliband had moved into an office in Gordon Brown's suite in the House of Commons. I have the sad duty of telling you that his nameplate has now been removed and been replaced by one with the name of Ed Balls on it. Kremlinologists everywhere will be reading much into this.

ReplyDeleteWell, if you're retreating into your bunker to prepare for the end, you're likely to want your closest buddies and henchmen around you, eh?
ReplyDeletemaybe it was just a mistake? the wrong Ed? the House authorities do get this stuff wrong sometimes... though not often...
ReplyDeleteWon't be long until a whole new set of nameplates is required.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have happened to a nicer chap. Such a shame. But these are the perils of high office....
ReplyDeleteOh look, another appointment. Another Scot appointed to No. 10's Jockocracy.
ReplyDeletePM appoints Scot as strategist
Scot becomes the 19th special adviser at No 10
Nice jobs if you can get it*.

The stocks were sold; the Press was squared:
The Middle Class was quite prepared.
But as it is! . . . My language fails!
Go out and govern New South Wales!"
