Gordon Sorts It Out

It's been a bad week for Gordon Brown (incidentally, there's a new law that states that every article for the rest of the year has to start with these words).  Luckily, according to a transparent planted story (full of 'senior officials' and 'insiders') in the Observer, he's getting some heavyweight talent on board to sort it out:

Geoff Hoon, the chief whip, and Jack Straw, the justice secretary - two veteran Cabinet ministers known as 'greybeards' - are being promoted as key members of the new inner circle. 'Geoff is in No 10 all the time when he's not in parliament,' one Labour insider said. 'Jack Straw is involved.'

Now, Straw is no longer in the Blair inner circle, if he ever was, and is also actually quite bright, but of low-to-dubious morals.  Hoon is, of course, but he's a mental midget who shouldn't be anywhere near anything important.  Of course, the actual contents of the story are irrelevant (it is the Observer, after all), it's the hidden hand behind it that fascinates.

So what to make of this?  Is it the Blairites spinning it as their guys riding to the rescue (see Martin 'I Never Saw A Blairite Arse I Didn't Want To Lick' Kettle all-time-classic article the other day) or the Brownites spinning that they've got it under control and are in charge of events?  Beats me, although given that it's the Observblair and the Blairites are evidently running an anti-Brown campaign, I veer towards the former.  Remember, these people are like particularly virulent undead - stake them through the heart, cut their heads off, stuff them with garlic and they'll still be writing snarky pieces for the Guardian about how they were Right all along and how Gordon just needs to be More Like Tony and it'll all be well.

"A builder who lives in a former council house in Newcastle and "can't stand" Labour has been named as one of Gordon Brown's biggest donors – prompting fresh questions over the party's finances."

"Ray Ruddick, who drives a battered Transit van, is officially listed as having contributed more than £104,000 to the national party's coffers since Mr Brown became Prime Minister less than five months ago"...

"Recharging the batteries of

"Recharging the batteries of the 500 at a domestic outlet takes a few hours for a full recharge but, in normal use, you don’t completely discharge the batteries, so that about one hour and a half is sufficient. At the present prices of electricity in Italy, a complete recharge costs about Eur 1.2. Since we have a range of about 100 km, it follows that the cost per km of running the car is about 1/5 of what was the cost using gasoline. We also have charged it using the energy produced by the PV panels on the roof of Ugo Bardi’s home. In that case the cost of the recharge is strictly zero"...

Interesting how weapons

Interesting how weapons grade liars like Straw and Hoon have been hurriedly brought up to the front line of Gordon's defence.

Hoon's classic duck of the MOD knowing nothing about the '4 minutes to doom'  fib was, 'I was in Czechoslovakia that day'.

True to form, Jack Straw's first point about the mystery donor to Sky News was that, 'I never met him, don't know him so I can't really comment'.

Gordon's newbies really can't evade questions like the veterans. I expect Gordon to make Tony an offer for Jonathan Powell soon.

"'Outlaw' US Insurance multinational driving U.K Government welfare policy"

"On Tuesday 6th November, the BBC Ten O'clock news broadcast a report about the massive US multinational UnumProvident and how it is driving UK welfare reform policy. Fronted by the 'Secret Policeman' investigative journalist, Mark Daly: the report uncovered documents from Unum in the UK boasting that they were, and are, influencing Government policy. Policies influenced included the assessment of ability to work, the ending of G.P's sicknotes and the Welfare Reform Act. The insurance giant has been described in the US as a ''an outlaw company ... that for years has operated in an illegal fashion." and been accused of racketeering and cheating tens of thousands of insured Americans out of their claims. Currently a BBC Scotland programme and a Radio 4 programme on the issue are planned"

The Kettle article that you

The Kettle article that you link to is indeed an all-time classic of spin. Is there any evidence that Brown is in fact still fighting Blair? Is there indeed any evidence that he did in the past? The whole article is based on assumptions for which there is no evidence, with the aim of trying to prove the assumptions after the fact.

Meanwhile I wonder what Brown supposedly bringing Hoon and Straw in is suppsed to prove. The words "elder statesmen" really don't fit this couple.
