On 3 April 2006 Prime Minister Blair wrote to the leader of the Opposition Mr Cameron:
“As you will know, it is customary for the Prime Minister of the day to authorise pre-election meetings between opposition spokesmen and senior civil servants . . . The purpose of this letter is to let you know that I will be ready once again, on request, to authorise meetings on the same basis and for the same purpose from January 1, 2009.”
On 19 November the Opposition leader wrote to Mr Blair's defenestrator suggesting that the Conservative Party Chairman and the Cabinet Secretary should fix up a schedule of meetings beginning in the New Year.
Brown won't answer. The scheduling is delayed. The content of the meetings would be completely confidential. Imagine Brown's mortification - discussions of policy in every department of State with a potential incoming government.
Mr Blair has left behind the most cruel of devices. It's torture.

notwithstanding the rain, and Lilith's identification of more beeb-spin, my weekend is really looking up ...
first the Dunnell-n-Scholar interventions & now your news of further exquisite torment for Brown
Mandelson really does have a mighty boulder to push up the mountain. I have a sneaking regard for his indefatigability, as well his malign creativity; but it'll crush him in the end (so to speak)

Quite extraordinary, Nick is it not?

I admire Mandelson in the same way that I do sharks. I quite like them from the point of view that both are a triumph of evolution; however, I wouldn't want to share a bath with either.
Homosexuals often posess the potent combination of the bitchiness of a woman locked within the physical strength of a man.
Blair and Brown have no redeeming features whatsoever. They make my flesh creep.
