I almost feel sorry for Kwasi – his trip to the US (with presumably a begging bowl) cut short and back to London, a la Denis Healey returning from going to see the IMF in 1976. (If only, for all our sakes, this govt. was on such good terms with the IMF). Meantime, there’s a big picture of him on the front page of the Telegraph – The Telegraph – and the headline says “I’m not going anywhere”. Translation: don’t renew your Sky Plus subs for number 11, pal.

The Tories seem to be having a break from what they do best – convincing the electorate that they can run the economy – and are falling back on what they do second best: putting each others’ heads on spikes.

Still, at least the food banks are busy eh?
