Gordon's Kirsty
Labour Party Conference: Gordon Brown's speech depends on Kirsty McNeill - Telegraph
When Gordon Brown delivers the speech he hopes will save his premiership, he will owe much to a young Scotswoman with an uncanny ability to "get inside his head".
A local councillor from Southwark who tried and failed to unseat Simon Hughes. She is described as having a ferocious intellect coupled with an ability to speak the language of real people nearly as well as she does that of the often tongue-tied Mr Brown...
One friend said: "Kirsty understands the new media - she knows that in this day and age it's as important for a politician to be seen on handbag.com or Nigerian Women's Radio as it is Newsnight."
Um, so the best Gordon can get is a failed candidate, a carpet-bagger from Scotland - A colleague in Number 10 described her in less glowing terms however, referring to her "typical left wing feminist streak." Someone who is as into Nigerian Women's Radio as she is into Paxo. Someone who is inside his head, joining in with all the other voices. Is it her idea that the big relaunch is based on giving scrotes £700 to get online, so bizarre it is laughable as being the "big idea"?
If you want to find out more she is available: Second Saturday of every month, 11.30am to 12.30am, Mardyke T&RA Hall, Townsend Street, London SE17.
