Video: Boris Speech to Olympic Victory Parade

Guido can imagine Dave waking up in a cold sweat with cheers of “Boris, Boris, Boris” going through his head…

UPDATE: Now that’s what you call a pained expression:

Telegraph Blogs Poach HuffPo Hacks

Telegraph Blogs readers have been enjoying the musings of Willard Foxton over the last seven days, with the former HuffPo contributor sharing his views on sexy Instagram photos amongst other things. Now Damian Thompson has pinched his second HuffPo blogger in two weeks, as Luke McGee joins the team on Monday.

The phrase brain drain comes to mind…

DJ Watson Spins Leveson

Touchy Tom Watson tends to get testy when people bring up his links with the lefties Political Scrapbook. He pointedly told the Leveson Inquiry that he had nothing to do with them, which was news to some:

Watson:“I know the guy, the young guy that runs it. I have no relationship with it in terms of management or anything else.”

Jay: “Have you provided information to them for their use?”

Watson: “No.”

Watson would have us believe there is no cosy relationship here, despite obviously feeding them stories. Fellow Labour MP Kerry McCarthy let the cat out of the bag this weekend though when she revealed Scrapbook‘s special guest for their Labour party conference shindig:

Hmm, surely that comes under “or anything else”.

What "Daddy" Did Next: Fred Michel Lands New Job

Jeremy Hunt was the great survivor of the BSkyB deal, getting himself a promotion, but it seems his texting partner in crime – News Corp lobbyist Fred Michel – has landed a new gig as well.

“Daddy”, as he became affectionately known by Hunt, is off to be European Director of Public Affairs and Communication at global telecoms giants Telefonica.

Big drink tonight!
