The Brownies Sunday Prayer

Our Gordon, who art in Number 10
Hallowed be thy mental illness
Thy party conference come
Thy will be done, in Manchester as it is Westminster
Give us this day our daily policy
And forgive us our requests for nomination papers, as we forgive them that nominated you previously
And lead us not into Toryland
But deliver us from election wipe out

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever.

Amen

Via a co-conspirator

Did the Chief Whip Leak McDonagh's Nomination's Paper Letter?

Having just read Sir Michael White's article the implication is that Geoff Hoon leaked Siobhain McDonagh's letter. Yesterday it was put to Guido that since Siobhain didn't leak the letter the recipient must have, Guido presumed the recipient to be Jack Dromey - which had an interesting dimension considering his wife is Harriet Harman, a potential candidate successor to the Prime Mentalist.

White however tells us, and he got it directly from McDonagh, "she acted on her own in writing privately to her boss, chief whip Hoon, 10 days ago. When Sky News got to hear about it, her choice was to confirm or deny it. She took the honest course." The startling inference could be made that it is possible that Hoon, the Chief Whip, was responsible for the leak.
