To her libel case.
The Blairs’ former new age guru and shower sharer has won damages from the Mail.*
She kept repeating on the telly a moment ago that she was “nearly fifty”….
She could have fooled Guido…
*She never sued over her topless photos in The Sun.
After some confusion and delay, the much hyped fuel prices e-petition that was set up by Robert Halfon will be debated in the House on Thursday 15, November.
Guido would hope a little more successfully than in America…
Multi-millionaire public-schoolgirl Fiona Mactaggart had her claws out as comprehensive girl Chloe Smith took to the despatch box for her first outing at Treasury Questions. The lucid Labourite managed to unite the Tories around the twenty-nine year old new Minister, despite many of them being furious that she has been promoted above their heads.
Abandoning the traditional “may I welcome the Minister”, apparently Smith “was probably in primary school the last time the economy was this bad”. Catty! Labour newcomer Cathy Jamieson was forced to welcome Smith “properly” after Mactaggart’s joke crashed and burnt…
The Indy and the Standard have begun a slow merger. Despite talk of “separate identities” the Lebedev’s pet Pravda projects have merged their sports and business desks. Guido got thinking, why has no newspaperever tried to go national in the evenings? Only a few more years left to give it a go…
Guido took a stroll round the distinctly underwhelming camp at St Paul’s last night. One or two things did make him giggle though:
His face lit up by a thousand corporations…
It all go a little too tiring and emotional for one merry camper…
UPDATE: Behind the paywall The Times have some disgruntled voices:
“Zakandrew Roberts, 18, joined Occupy London on its first day, but left on Saturday after a series of incidents, including someone urinating in his tent and a friend being threatened with a penknife. He claimed that the camp had deteriorated from a group of serious campaigners intent on highlighting issues about economic equality, to “drunks and drug-takers . . . here for a laugh”. Mr Roberts, an unemployed charity worker, said: “Half the people there don’t know why they are there or what they are protesting about. I want political change, not to get high and drunk all the time.”
Watch out for that progressive punch, it’s lethal…
If Labour’s candidate for Mayor was anyone but Ken, Boris would be in some trouble, but instead their candidate for Mayor is a gift that keeps on giving. Ken has told London24 that he wants to reintroduce his bonkers oil deal with socialist dictator Hugo Chavez. In the face of raised eyebrows and stifled laughs Ken rants against the CIA for spreading misinformation about the dying Venezuelan leader. Ken was on Chavez’s books as an adviser after he lost to Boris… Does he have any interests to declare on such a deal?
UPDATE:
Warm words…
