Business Secretary Joins Circus.

In a new intiative announced today, Business Secretary Peter Mandelson has reacted swiftly to the Shortage of Clowns revealed on this blog earlier this week.

Gordon Brown expressed his delight and appreciation for Peter's tireless efforts

"This is Serious Comedy, For Serious Times and Seriously Minded Families."

 The Business Secretary said: "That's what I'm paid to do, that's what I'm accountable to parliament for and that's what I'm going to keep on doing."

Shortage of Clowns Says Home Affairs Committee!

It's no laughing matter says spokesman

Errrm. Last time I looked, there didn't seem to be a drought of clowns in the House of Commons.

If you're short of some, you could always borrow a few from the Lords.

Oh , you have already, haven't you!

As you were then.
