Yesterday morning I got a call from The Sun. Cue slightly faster than usual beating heart. They had read THIS on my blog and wondered if I might be able to furnish them with a little more information. Sadly I didn't have any, so I was a little surprised to see a full page article in today's paper on page 9.

 

 

Still, if it persuades the old hypocrite to resign just that little bit faster it will have been worth it. If what I hear about the newspapers pursuing six different women over affairs and chasing details of other inappropriate behaviour then I suspect Prezza's interview on Sunday with Andrew Marr will be required viewing. My instinct is that the DPM (as we must now call him) will decide to go when Blair announces his reshuffle on Monday. He will cite wanting to spend time rebuilding his marriage as the reason. That is, of course, if he still has one to rebuild by then.

PS This isn't the most bizarre headline for an article I have been quoted in. In 1989 I appeared in the Sunday Sport under the headline HORSE FART SIGNALS END OF DOCK STRIKE. It's a long story, which I might repeat if there is popular clamour...
