According to a tweet from Tom Watson, Gloria DePiero is taking over from Geoff Hoon in Ashfield Gloria having won the Labour nomination in Ashfield. She brings a bit of glamour to the people’s party and is the exception to the rule that politics is show business for ugly people.

Blair is said to have had a mid-life crush on Gloria.  Guido can’t fault him for that, she was the best thing on GMTV.  Hopefully we’ll be seeing a lot more of her…
