One man who clearly has mixed feelings about the Olympic gold haul yesterday is the Daily Mirror’s diminutive deputy political editor James Lyons:

He had been enjoying blaming sporting setbacks on an alleged “Curse of Cameron”, a meme which has an uncanny resemblance to the sporting Jinx of Jonah Brown popularised on these pages in the dark days of the accursed one-eyed son of the manse’s regime.

Mehdi Hasan took a break from cheering on the Iranian Olympic squad to join in:

Then Chris Hoy won the first gold with Cameron in the audience and the supposed curse was lifted. When congratulating British Gold medallists on Twitter Dave began casually mentioning being there in his tweets:

PM: "It was a huge privilege to witness @TeamGB win the Men's Team Sprint with a World Record. A truly great day for the UK."

PM: "Extraordinary to see the dominance of @TeamGB cycling – smashing another world record & winning gold". #teampursuit #London2012

— UK Prime Minister (@10DowningStreet) August 3, 2012

PM: "Awe inspiring win for Jessica Ennis. Proud to be cheering her on with the home crowd. Atmosphere electric on #SuperSaturday"

His presence in the winning of three golds nixing the jinx meme once and for all. As bad as things are for Cameron politically, he is no Jonah Brown…
