1. For those who haven’t seen it, this is the claim by Peter Foster, previous lover of "lifestyle guru" Carol Caplin, that she had an "intimate" relationship with the Prime Minister and exerted "extraordinary" influence over him. Peter Foster is presently trying to flog some kind of book he’s written. More in this Telegraph story:

2. Looks like Peter Foster will not leave the scene without, well, a scene…

   Mr Foster today issued an ultimatum to the prime minister saying he would release details of "other relevant and corroborated facts" to the media if he does not receive a response to a series of sensational allegations within the next three days.

   Reads to me like: "please get cross about this. you were not supposed to laugh"

3. Sounds like the UK is "going American" with it’s accusations of infidelities among its leaders. I might ask what man (and I’m sure there are a few) can honestly say they haven’t had an affair or two during their marital life. I also feel sure that whatever affairs any of them have had have had no influence on the running of their country or their businesses. Why don’t the journalists lay off.

4. Now that’s a stretch; it’s one thing to have a wife that’s a bit of a flake and gets 80s pop stars to hold seances so the spirit world can find them a good deal on property…

   Now what? Blair having threesomes and foursomes with channelers and dodgy snake-oil salesmen? For heaven’s sake, there’s only so far from "reality", or whatever it is that newspapers are meant to be portraying these days, one can fall before you’re nothing better than the Enquirer.

   We may as well be asking the Prime Minister "Been abducted by aliens lately?"

   Now *there’s* a story.

   "80s pop star channels dead alien, which Blair once had a sordid affair with, to influence property deal; village idiot tells all in new book."

   I’m ready for my closeup, Mr. Campbell.
