Mandelson And Deripaska

Trevor Kavanaugh has a must-read piece on the Mandelson/Deripaska affair.

This is what happens when politicians don't keep their distance from shady business figures.

People focus on Mandelson or Osborne's judgement, but doesn't it say something about Gordon Brown's judgement? He brings Mandelson back into the Cabinet, and within a few weeks, this is what's happening?

Actually, I found the Kavanaugh piece, as it was a featured link on Guido Fawkes.

I don't mind reading the odd article in The Sun if I learn more about Lord Mandelson!

"If ... he ... weighs ... the same as a duck ... he's made of wood."
"And therefore?"
"A Sun reader!"
"Burn him!"
