Story on CBS that Blair to undergo operation for “Heart Flutters”
UPDATE: He is to undergo a catheter ablation. Nothing to worry about. See here. If it was me I’d be shitting myself – involves numbing the groin, wire catheters in your groin. It can be heated -STOP I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW ANY MORE.
UPDATE: 1/300 chance of death.
UPDATE: Tells Marr “Will not serve fourth term” – Doh!
UPDATE: “Brown in danger of laughinging to death” denied.
Police have questioned a 23 year-old woman from the cabinet office in connection with the theft of documents. I hope she is innocent. The Sunday Times has been getting loads of government-embarrassing scoops of late. Such as the change to the compilation of NHS productivity figures to make them more productive, the civil service attack on No. 10 spin etc. (Could someone email or voicemail Guido her name – we won’t reveal the source.)
In a code that Guido has managed to decipher, Alan Milburn said it would be ‘an enormous privilege’ to lead the party. That suggestion pisses off supporters of the Chancellor, who regard their man as having bagsied the top job whenever it becomes available. ‘It would be an enormous privilege to be Labour leader, but there isn’t a vacancy’, Mr Milburn said at a fringe event last night, adding: ‘Who knows what the future is going to bring?’
Tough code eh? Are the Blairites deliberately using Milburn to wind up Brown, to focus his ire away from Blair?
The League Against Cruel Sports’ fox puppet give-away has been banned by Labour’s conference authorities in case it incites the hunt protestors. (Guido is not making this up – check the link.) Delegates who bought fox puppets from the League yesterday are having them confiscated when their bags are searched on arrival and have been informed that they can have them back at the end of today.
So it was nothing at all to do with a drunk the night before last pursuing a horrified Cherie up the hotel stairs with a fox puppet on his hand. Nothing at all.
UPDATE: Police have now given permission for the League Against Cruel Sports to bring their “provocative” Basil Brush-style toys into the conference centre – only nobody has bothered to tell the Group 4 security guards who are continuing with their “only doing my job” antics.
AN online poll asking readers to vote for the best candidate for Prime Minister has been scrapped – after Robert Kilroy-Silk came top. The Ultra-Thatcherite Bruges Group, a Euro-sceptic think-tank, withdrew the results from its website saying they had been “sabotaged”.
Iraq & Fox hunting are the serious issues deserving nude demonstrators and Iraqi Coursing Club jokers. Rely on Guido for the important news. Oh, Blair bored on about not being sorry for arresting Saddam. “I’m like any other human being, as fallible and as capable of being wrong. ” Say it ain’t so Tony?
