    Maybe it depends on your definition of politician? If it means lying, conniving weasel then it's very apt.

    I think it's quite plausible that Mandelson is an excellent politician, the problem is that he is not an elected politician.

    I thought Brown's reputation had been blown out of the water by now, but obviously not.

    How many of the majority chav-class voters still believe in Labour's economic competence?

    They both were forever blowing bubbles.

    He was a blinding Chancellor. He did away with boom and bust and saved us loads of storage costs on all that gold.
