Bad Week for Sarko and Ed MPs Lunch Subsidy Exposed Well of course after being slagged off by Sarkozy at the EU summit no doubt Cameron will be heartbroken to hear the sad news that France has been downgraded as a credit risk. The downgrade will do for his pollratings and French pride. Oh dear, never mind. After last week, you might have thought that Ed Miliband's leadership had reached its lowest ebb so far. The polls certainly think so and he's shuffling his pack, but the cock ups continued this week. After we broke the news on Saturday that Ed was going to be relaunching on Tuesday, the Labour Press Office had one almighty tantrum. Declaring that we had broken an embargo on their operational note, despite Neo-Guido tweeting the contents of it before it was sent out (and incidentally not sent to him) they huffed and puffed and banned us from Ed's big relaunch speech. That didn't stop broadsheet hacks openly laughing in his face, the BBC naming him David and his speech being met with a lethal cocktail of mockery and indifference. His Today programme appearance was another stunning success too. And the trouble didn't stop there. He had a blunder at PMQS, David Miliband made his presence felt again this week, Guido came face to face with Harman, Ed was exposed for stealing Sarkozy's lines and some interesting questions arose about his relationship with lobbyists and loan sharks. At least he stayed off Twitter... Elsewhere Guido has been campaigning heavily against the taxpayer subsidising MPs' lunches. Steak, pigeon and pork belly. They scoff and you pay... A key moment of the week was Tory backbencher Jessie Norman's Ten Minute Rule Bill against Pilgrims. The rules went out the window and Labour had to resort to breaking conventions in order to do their paymasters bidding and stop a ban on taxpayer funding of trade unions. Guido hopes they realise that this is a war, not merely one skirmish... Week's Most Read Stories With the return of Parliament, normality returned to traffic levels.
