The Wardman Wire

A nugget from Alan Watkins’ column last Sunday:

Mr Brown’s raft of constitutional reforms does not include the proposal that a general election should take place after any change of prime minister. He himself would almost certainly reject any such idea. But another side of his nature might want to have his own mandate, “mandate” being a favoured word in the Labour circles which Mr Brown used to frequent.

I wonder why not?

Watch that man very, very, carefully.
