A HAPPY CABINET?

A HAPPY CABINET?: "You can't beat the Today programme for sheer pro-Labour entertainment value. I caught Shaun 'Where's my Butler?'

This surreal statement was not challenged in any way by Naughtie and so a line in drawn through the winter revolution in Labour. As an add-on, Woodward was also gifted an easy question concerning Northern Ireland's First Minister Peter Robinson which was designed to allow him to wax lyrical on the wonderful relationship between the DUP leader and the IRA in the form of butcher boy Martin McGuinness. All one big set-up, and a complete disinterest in asking hard questions.
