Re: All The Best To You Graham

Some people would say the goings on at Westminster are similar to Yes Minister, The New Statesman or even The Thick of It (all very very good and scathing) But for Graham maybe Francis Urquhart would be more applicable.

or even the US version, which is not bad at all if not as downright evil.

To paraphrase FU, '....Whip, merely a functionary. I keep the troops in line. I put a bit of stick around. I make them jump. And I shall, of course, give my absolute loyalty to whoever emerges as my leader'

I wonder what GJ thinks.....
