Guido was a little sleepy this morning, but did Blunkett tell Jim Naughtie on the Today show, whilst talking about the British sense of humour, “I even used to like the News Quiz, but I can’t listen to it any more. Jim Naughtie almost choked, “I think we will leave that one right there” was all he could say..

The presenter of the humourous News Quiz show is of course Simon Hoggart, Blunkett’s co-shagger of Kimberly Quinn.
