Afternoon Quickie #12

Well today’s most ridiculous piece of spin has to be this from Alan Johnson, as reported by the BBC. This makes their Number 1 story. Haha!

Health Secretary Alan Johnson has defended Gordon Brown’s leadership, saying he is “better than me or anyone else” as prime minister.

Better than anyone else? In the whole country? There’s not a single person alive that could do a better job than Gordon Brown? Oh, it’s laugh out loud funny – no wonder the BBC bumped it up. Labour will be relieved. The real big story of the day is that several MPs have been put on ‘suicide watch’ because the expenses data is going to reveal they’ve been having affairs, and, no doubt, a lot worse. Membergeddon is coming…
