BBF EXCLUSIVE!

Brown unveils new advisor on coalfields regeneration

In a move described as "all spin" by veteran blogger Guido Fawkes, Gordon Brown met today with his new advisor on issues relating to former mining areas:




"Baroness Thatcher, or Maggie her friends call her, has a wealth of valuable experience on this subject and I am proud to have her in my Cabinet of all the talents," he said.

The Prime Minister added that she would also be advising the Government on trade union relations, unemployment, and the importance of calcium to in school meals but would not be drawn on whether the executive would actually contain any members of the Labour Party after the next reshuffle, nor whether "all the talents" encompassed any politician who had previously passed within half an mile of Tony Blair.

I almost spat my coffee onto my keyboard when I read this - very good Hamer, nice to see you're back.

The Thatcher thing might not play too well in my neck of the woods, but it is hardly the blow to the Labour base that Guido makes it out to be.

No problems here, anything that confounds, confuses or just anoys the Tories, and the lunatic left can be bad.

I'am waiting for here state funeral - cos that will mean "Ding Dong, the *itch is dead"

Staines is a dedicated spinner himself, so it's always fun watching him scream "Nu Lab spin!"
