Staples in the Hand

Good of Labour to lay on some silly season entertainment with David Milliband deciding to mount a leadership challenge while his boss hides away in Suffolk. Sounds like most of the cabinet are skipping quality time with families to bombard their colleagues and media with their carefully-coded views and aspirations. Meanwhile Dave has done his Boden catalogue photocall and is tucking smugly into some lobster and chips in Rock. The first cabinet meeting of the Autumn should be fun - "How was your break, Gordon?" "You know how my f**king break was."
