Aha!

All this talk about Gordo's first cabinet, the reshuffle and all has taken up page after page of newsprint, hours and hours of broadcast time on TV and radio and doesn't really show much sign of abating, though I doubt it has legs beyond the weekend.

The Times has run fairly lengthy articles on all the new faces picking, much to my annoyance, The Monster and her hubby Ed, for a lengthy profile. The brothers Miliband, David and Ed, get lengthy mentions too. It's a long time since siblings were in government together (if ever they were) and the media is portraying this as some kind of family success.

No one has mentioned the success of their elder brother, Steve, who made the charts in the 1980s with Abracadabra...

What a family.

*groan*
That is an awful pun, truly bad.

More please.


BTW - was it your Monster on Question Time last night?

Yes, that was she!

Weren't the Eagle sisters ministers together (or am I mis-remembering)?

Was it that member of the family who also claimed that some people called him the Space Cowboy, the Gangster of Love and Maurice, but declared himself to be a lover, a grinner and something called a Midnight Toker?

I'd vote for him.
