   Her media profile is good – any publicity is good publicity.

   But yes, you`re right, the Americans knew in advance of the attack on Suez. Eisenhower had promised Macmillan tacit support at the UN and the Federal reserve would intervene to shore up sterling. Of course, he did no such thing, the sh*t, classic double bluff you see, continuing their policy of diminishing British economic independence and political influence. Oh but it`s true, my dear!! What do you think the lend-lease act was all about? That`s the trouble with being a poodle, you know, your master keeps you on a VERY short leash. Now talking of dogs, DIZZEE!! DIZZEE!! DONT CHEW MY GUARDIAN!!!

   The problem here is people who think that the only point of being an MP is to get onto the front bench. What we desparately need are MPs who see their role as being backbenchers and serving their constituents rather than their own career interests. I’d be inclined to appoint ministers (including the PM) solely from the Lords, and leave the House of Commons more like the US House of Representatives. Just think what recent legislation would never have seen the light of day if there was no payroll vote to support it. The Lisbon and Maastricht treaties, for two.

     The commitee chairs in Congress are all appointed by seniority. The longer you’re in and stealing from everyone, and not getting caught with your hand in the till, the more powerful you get. It’s Darwinism at work: Survival of the shiftiest.

    Two sentences later she says
    “I need to sit down with my whip and say, ‘What do I have to do?’ “
