“Please don’t be Gordon, please don’t be Gordon, please don’t be Gordon,” said the collective look on the faces of Labour MPs at Prime Minister’s Questions today.
Nick Clegg was about to reveal who the first person to call Andy Coulson was, after the then News of the World editor resigned over the phone-hacking scandal back in 2006.
While they’d hoped it was not Gordon who’d called Coulson to commiserate, comfort him and tell that he would one day have a “worthwhile” job – the irony – they knew deep down that it was him.
As one red MP later commented: “That’s so Gordon.”
It was the best moment in terms of theatre at PMQs, but obviously the more significant thing is that Speaker John Bercow said he would grant an emergency debate on the phone hacking scandal tomorrow.
Pressure mounts on Coulson. I’ll be there of course.

A simple but engaging post with a nice sense of humour and everyday observation. It’s the kind of light, relatable writing that makes ordinary moments feel memorable. Short and enjoyable read overall.
