Peter Mandleson

In a curious documentary earlier this week, Peter Mandelson revealed that Gordon Brown had invited him back into the cabinet over "a sandwich, yogurt and an orange juice". What a bizarre revelation! Why not "over a sandwich", or "over lunch"? Why mention food at all?

All this leads me to suspect foul play on Mandleson's part. Subliminal messaging? Aggressive pushing of healthy eating? Self aggrandisement? (Come on, Mandy, yoghurts aren't exotic anymore!) No.. none of these are the answer.. the answer is that Mandleson must have slipped in something dreadful when I wasn't listening properly.. then slipped in the yogurt remark to distract me. And it worked! Damn... ...but no matter; Milliband is coming round for a slice of Lemon Drizzle Cake on Sunday; I'll ask him what Mandy said then.

  1. Mandleson will never get Sarcozy round his house for tea unless he ups his offer: Onion soup is a particular favourite, I'm lead to believe.
