...and in the same week as she's on telly being a pretend Geography teacher to ver kids.
Maybe Nu-Labouriarse just engenders a kind of "I used to be a politician get me in there!" mentality.
P'raps in a few weeks she'll be saying "...and I definitely saw Tony Blair pulling faces at the Libyan ambassador while he wasn't looking"

Pretty much how I feel. Shame it wasn't Robin Cook who was the bean-spiller though. Short didn't exactly shine when discussing this on Channel 4 News last night. Cook would have been armed to the teeth with witheringly incriminating evidence and legal background etc. I don't think Short really scares Tone at all. Cook really does though.
As an aside, this comment in today's Metro pised me off. "...she entered the Commons, quickly acquiring a reputation as a forceful politician (...) She attacked The Sun's Page Three girls and demanded that a judge be sacked for jailing a woman who was too frightened to give evidence against a man who beat her."
Why should that be seen as radical behaviour? It's a sad reflection to me that an MP expressing such views is the exception rather than the norm.

Somewhat surprisingly, Cook has come out to say Short is talking shite.

Saying he 'would be surprised' if it had happened sounds to me a bit like he's hedging his bets coz he doesn't know one way or the other. What if it's found to be a dodgy allegation and he had been seen climbing on board with it. He's just covering his own arse, I reckon.
