Gordon Brown will tonight finally announce he is making his lack of parliamentary attendance official by quitting at the next election. This website was taking the p**s out of the former Prime Mentalist way before it was cool, but with the old media doing their favourite McMental greatest hits today, Guido couldn’t resist. Never forget the curse of Jonah:

Or when the day the dam finally burst:

Nor when the public finally saw the two faces of the one-eyed son of a Manse:

So always cherish that expenses video smiling freak-out:

And regret when our nation’s leader was so hated he was booed by its veterans:

This soldier was having none of it:

Calling it ‘Obama beach’ did not help:

But thank you Gordon, for saving the world:

…and for picking your nose live on TV:

We’ll never forget when you forgot you were still an MP:

Or when you took yet another wrong turn:

Nor when the public finally got a glimpse of Psycho Gordon:

And when Andrew Marr asked the wrong bloody question:

And cherish the day Brown finally resigned:

So long then Gordon, you absolute loon. We shall miss you.

Today is the mid term elections in the US & I encourage you to get out and vote for the Democrats. Good luck to you

Eddie Izzard is a backer of hopeless causes ranging from joining the euro, voting for Ken Livingstone, Gordon Brown, the Yes side in the alternative vote referendum and now of course Ed Miliband. Guido was therefore highly perturbed when Izzard managed to be, for once, on the winning side in the Scottish independence referendum thus devaluing his use as a negative predictive tool. Fear not, all is once again right.

After urging his Twitter followers to vote for the Democrats they had a bad night and the Republicans took control of the Senate…

We have 2 classes of MPs in another sense too: those who do the job day in, day out – and those who only turn up when they want to speak

The back bencher Gordon Brown has spoken. The time limit goes on. This is how it works. #thevow

Gordon Brown speaking for 16mins on Scots Devolution debate – despite there being a 6 min limit. One rule for the few another for the many!

Gordon Brown speaking in chamber. Screen says he started at 14.32 and it is now 14.47 Screen also says 6min limit on backbench speech???

Sir George Young very witty at Gordon's expense- not all MPs are equal, "some allowed to speak for more than 6 minutes, some are not".

In the Scottish devolution debate. Two tier MPs? Gordon Brown has unlimited speaking time, other backbenchers limited to 6 minutes.

Two classes of MPs. Those who barely come to Parliament yet get unlimited speaking time. G. Brown. Other class of MP: everyone else.

Another stunning Gordon success.

The body language was wonderful at this morning’s joint appearance between Darling and the former Prime Mentalist:

Did someone say ‘forces of hell’?

They’ll be giving them away soon…

One question has been buzzing around today:

Has @TomBaldwin66 been vetted? Is there anything in his past that could make him vulnerable to blackmail? @labourpress

Who could Joe mean? RT @JoeMurphyLondon @toryboypierce Are there no former law-breakers in Ed's team hoping to go into No 10?

One for Ed’s team to sniff out.
