There's an interview with Baron Mandelson of Foy and Hartlepool in the Guardian today. Apart from it being mostly about how great his Lordship thinks he is, there is much guff about how good his relationship with our Prime Minister has become once again and what a truly great leader Gordon Brown is. This utterly bizarre statement tops it off.

"Internationally people say to me,’ Your prime minister has been transformed. His standing has soared.' People really do look to him like some Moses figure who is going to lead them away from this economic mess to the promised land."

First he wants to be on Strictly Come Dancing and now he's waxing lyrical. He gives the impression of somehow taking the whole thing as a bit of a joke. Then again he has it made. Mandelson will spend the rest of his life, assuming Labour lose the next ejection, being a non-exec director for a large number of businesses keeping him the style to which he has become accustomed, yet never having done a decent days work to deserve. The man is a shyster, a fiddler and worst of all he's arrogant in the extreme.
