Alan Johnson was strolling around Crystal Palace the other day, sizing up the French House menu and I got to thinking: if he'd taken a slightly different tack he might well be the prime minister.


And instead of having a pleasant lunch on his lonesome he would be sharing a bottle of Perrier with Alastair Campbell with Special Branch on the next table and a helicopter overhead.

How on earth would you recognise one of B*witched?

I vauguely remember double denim bit their faces?

No way !!!!!

I was next to the lovely Mickey Flannigan at a recent children's cricket club BBQ prize-giving. He looked pretty bored and left early. I didn't know he has a child playing.

It's quite usual to see Jo Brand around the village, Lorraine Chase in Rocca's, James Nesbitt at the Lido, Hugh Edwards in West Dulwich and Jenny Eclair on Lordship Lane. Stars in our eyes indeed!

    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.  
    • He is toast  he should never have been appointed  and starmer flannelling about all of this shows exceptionally poor judgement  a disgrace all around
