Guido forgot to mention in his story on Monday (Jonah Brown Mini-Curse) that the Prime Mentalist had also visited workers at the Swedish telecoms giant Ericsson’s new research and development plant at Ansty Park, Coventry. Inevitably Guido reads today that Ericsson is cutting 5,000 jobs.

At his monthly press conference this morning he sent best wishes to Jade Goody. As if she isn’t suffering enough.

UPDATE 21:00 : This just in: “Angry drivers are urging Mini to recall almost a quarter of a million cars following a spate of sudden power steering failures“. Guido thinks he knows the cause.
