Hain gets a new SpAd…
ACCORDING to Guido, “Robert Philpot, director of Progress and editor of their magazine has just been appointed as the new SpAd [special advisor] to Peter Hain, replacing the departed cheating Phil Taylor”. Meanwhile, Guido has been recovering from his Newsnight appearance and run-in with the BBC’s Nick Robinson.

Paxman’s temper tantrum was very funny. The arrogance of media people in London is beaten only by that of politicians. And maybe that **** John Terry

‘Peetahh, don’t go out like tha-at. There’s a drip line from last night’s tan-spray on your cheek’.

It wasn’t O’Rourke. Nor was it Jeremy Paxman - although that’s who Noel Thompson attributed it to on Hearts & Minds earlier this week.
It was, in fact, HL Mencken.
