Mandy is Out
by Graham Davies

At last, Peter Mandelson has been Outed: I can now confirm that he is totally addicted to publicity.

Even when he is supposedly doing nothing, he manages to get into the news. His trip to Corfu has probably been the most talked-about holiday of the year. But it's not true to say that he was trying to run the country with only a mobile phone. To be fair, He had his Blackberry with him as well.

He has made it clear that he feels that Britain needs a stronger voice in Europe. There is no doubt who he thinks that voice should be provided by.

Strangely, I find this way he has of constantly presenting himself rather refreshing. Most politicians try to put on the Reluctantly-in-the-Public-Eye Act. But not Mandy. He knows that there is no bushel big enough to have the remotest chance of hiding his light.
