Exclusive: Euan Blair Sent to Coventry With Geoffrey Robinson
Daily Star Sunday Column Now Online
As Guido exclusively revealed in yesterday’s Daily Star Sunday, Blair could be in Parliament in 2015. Euan Blair that is.
It has been mentioned before that Euan might be interested in following his father’s footsteps, but Guido brings you the first details of his plan, and his new intriguing mentor:
“Keep an eye on the selection for the Labour seat of Coventry North West. Guido hears current MP Geoffrey Robinson is planning to retire at the next election and is taking a keen interest in the selection of his successor. Potential rival candidates have been put off by Euan Blair putting his face around the constituency in Robinson’s company. The former PM’s son has also been attending the local party’s committee meetings. Dullness you would only sit through for one reason.”Guido also broke the news last week that Will Straw was in the running for a seat, but it will be Euan that really gets tongues wagging. Robinson was closer to the Brownites so it’s in interesting development that he’s taken Euan under his wing. One to watch…
Elsewhere in the column, Guido brings you Diane Abbott’s two faced hypocrisy on bonuses, Lembit’s Clown torture and a the first UKIP-Tory alliance. We also found it a bit odd that when the Foreign Office was packed with half naked women, the Foreign Secretary was nowhere to be seen…Top Ten Most Popular Events at LibDem Conference Today

Mitchell Unclear “Clear” Statement
Mitchell has broken cover this morning, but already there are doubts that it will be enough:
“I’m very clear about what I said and what I didn’t say, and I want to make it absolutely clear I do not use the words that have been attributed to me.”
Not that clear, Chief Whip. Not least because you denied swearing last week, before later admitting it. There’s a word for that…
“It had been the end of a long and extremely frustrating day, not that that is any excuse at all for what happened,” he told journalists outside the Cabinet Office this morning. I didn’t show the police the amount of respect I should have done. We should all respect the police. They do an incredibly difficult job. I’ve apologised to the police, I’ve apologised to the police officer involved on the gate and he’s accepted my apology. I hope very much we can draw a line under it there.”Wriggly…
