From the news.
"It appears that the only reason Peter Mandelson has not taken the title of ‘Deputy Prime Minister’ is because Harriet Harman would have resigned if he did, since that title was, much to her annoyance, denied to her."
So Peter is now the First Secretary of State and Lord President of the Council, the Baron Mandelson, of Foy in the county of Herefordshire and Hartlepool in the county of Durham.
Reminds me a bit of a character from Gilbert & Sullivan’s ’The Mikado’.
POOH-BAH. “It is consequently my degrading duty to serve this upstart as First Lord of the Treasury, Lord Chief Justice, Commander-in-Chief, Lord High Admiral, Master of the Buckhounds, Groom of the Back Stairs, Archbishop of Titipu and Lord Mayor, both acting and elect, all rolled into one!”
I think we could add a few more titles to ‘Mandelsnake’.
How about:-
First Lord Crony, First Lord Russian Advisor, Receiver of the Green Custard, First Lord Mortgage Advisor........
........ and any other Lord the Sub-prime Minister needs!
