Mandelson back!! Why?

Just got out of a meeting to hear this news – wow! So what is Gordo up to? Many was hardly well liked with the public or even the union paymasters.

How's about this for a bit of Machiavellian thinking?

If Labour is going down why not have one of the main architects of NuLabour associated with its demise. Then the left can say that NuLab failed and that they need to return to "core values" with a new leader on the hard left to oppose the Tories.

With a bit of luck this will lead to a new suicide note for the following lection and an even bigger defeat for Labour.

That should keep them out of power for a while so that we have time to fix the economy – again!
