From the Times at the Spectator Parliamentarian of the Year awards:
The major gong of Politician of the Year went to Baron Mandelson of Foy and Hartlepool, whose title is way too long to write here. Slinky as silk, he glided up on stage, and said that he had much in common with Boris. They'd both worked in Brussels and had "very public" resignations. "And both of us share a driving ambition to do absolutely everything we can," he said, tantalisingly slowly, "to undermine David Cameron!"
Boris gesticulated like a tic-tac man at the races: "Nonsense!"
Mandy crowed: "He protesteth too much!"
The Baron remains at 66/1. Could that change? Anecdote brought to you by way of Clive Davis. Have a good weekend.
