What a disappointment life must be for our unelected Prime Minister. Following years of sulking around in Blair’s shadow, waiting for Tony to honour his promise and let Gordon step into his shoes, now he’s wearing them he’s feeling the pinch, not to mention the crunch. And, it seems, Brown's cabinet have begun the unseemly scramble to manoeuvre themselves into position for succession. A tale has emerged of the threat of fisticuffs between Jack Straw and Ed Balls in a post cabinet meeting spat. Both are likely candidates for the leadership should Labour lose the next election. Okay, I can just about imagine Prime Minister (man of) Straw, but Prime Minister Balls? A headline writer’s and stand-up comedian’s dream.
Naomi Campbell, the bad-tempered, foul-mouthed clothes horse, has been given a life-time ban by British Airways following her recent outburst at that monument of national embarrassment,T5. Rather than merely being given, the ban should have been awarded with full ceremonial. Naomi should count herself lucky to be spared from ever having to suffer the incompetence of the ‘World’s Favourite Airline’ until the day she dies. People would gladly part with cash for such an honour.
Speaking of honours, the Suffolk born artist Maggie Hambling wouldn't except one, even if her desire to be dubbed 'Sir' Maggie were granted.
So Arsene Wenger is unhappy at the ‘dodgy penalty’ awarded to Liverpool in last night’s Champions League game. We’re back to balls again.
