Hattie Harman has done her bit and is now off on her summer hols.
Parlez~me~’n~Tory says good riddance!
It’s not often I wish for #GoBro to be back at the helm but this week was one of those times. With lefty feminist Hattie spouting her rhetoric all week I feel physically drained.
So what have we got to look forward to from now until #GoBro gets back? Why, we have Mandy himself after taking the reins almost 36 hours ago in an official handover that took place in Whitehall, erm Downing St, erm Italy, erm Corfu! Oh bugger it, all of those places!
Why Corfu? Let’s come back to that.
The official reason we have had to witness the Hattie and Mandy show during the summer recess is that this gives a knackered PM much needed time off whilst continuing to provide top level Government cover. What a load of crap!
Top level cover would indicate that someone was at their desk ready and willing to work on any national emergency. The fact is that nobody is at their desk and from yesterday until Monday morning Mandy isn’t even in the country.
So what is Mandy doing in Corfu? What happened last time he was there? …and more importantly who’s he staying with?
Let’s address the 3rd question 1st then the rest might fall into place rather neatly.

Nat Rothschild is currently hosting Mandy in Corfu
Perhaps you recall
Nat Rothschild from last year’s
YachtGate incident involving Mandy and George Osbourne?
Well, the owner of the yacht was one Oleg Deripaska the man who was allegedly tapped up by both Mandy and Osbourne.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer still…
If you further recall this all came to a head very soon after #GoBro brought Mandy into the cabinet. Rather quickly it was disclosed that just 2 months earlier Mandy had ‘dripped pure poison’ about his new boss to George Osbourne whilst enjoying an evening together at the Taverna Agni on the Greek island of Corfu.
In retaliation Mandy threatened to reveal what the shadow chancellor had told him privately about the Conservatives. In truth it seems there was no such disclosure to reveal as you can rest assured Mandy would’ve already played that joker for his own gain. He has not therefore it is safe to conclude he had no insider knowledge he wanted to share.
Mandy is currently staying as a guest of Nat Rothschild whilst leading our country from afar.
Step forward one week from the original incident and The Times ran a report into a claim that Mandy had returned the favour of hospitality by giving up to £50m p/a trade concessions to Deripaska. This was only one in a stream of gifts made by Mandy going back to when he was European Trade Commissioner.
Of course, as is to be expected when dealing with Grand Moff Tarkin himself one has to be extremely careful. A spokesperson for Lord Mandelson said of himself and Deripaska:
They had been on holiday in the same area and it was purely a social occasion
The whole Yachtgate situation worsened after the initial Mandy/Osbourne spat when on 21st October 2008 Rothschild wrote an open letter to The Times in which he clearly set out his stall in which he seems increasingly comfortable in.
The question remains why is Rothschild cosying up to Mandy? Is Mandy seeking a new source of funding prior to announcing his candidature or the General Election? …and just what has Mandy promised him?
It would seem we are still to face many more months of lies, corruption and a further weakened Prime Minister who’s strings are increasingly tangling themselves around the weeds of a dead and ineffectual Government.
It is unlikely that we will ever discover the truth when one considers Rothschild’s parting line to The Times:
Perhaps in future it would be better if all involved accepted the age-old adage that private parties are just that
