Thursday August 2nd: Gordon will not be upstaged. "BROWN: A SECRET ELECTION BATTLE PLAN" screams the Daily Mirror's front page. As ways of besting his rival on this blog go, that's a pretty good one. In a bid to kick Diet Blair while he's down (and it hasn't been that difficult lately), Labour strategist Philip Gould, concocted a "secret 10-point blueprint". Sounds like the title of an old Jackie Chan film, doesn't it? And surely, if the papers are able to print it, does that not negate the very concept of the document's secrecy? It reads a little bit like a self help book, at any rate. "The solution is not to try and become more likeable or whatever (notice the subliminal diss to 'Dave' or just plain 'D' as he likes to be called ), it is to reveal your true potential as a person and a leader at the right time."

Deep.

The Oracle from the Matrix ghostwrote that. They need to break her off that ASCAP wong.

Also in today's news, the gift George Bush gave Gordon earlier this week at Camp David. A leather bomber jacket, with his name embroidered on the left breast. The Express ran a picture of said jacket. It looks like it should have one of those school name tags with 'Property of Action Man' written on it.

Political Editor, Macer Hall, suggests that unless The Prime Minister declares it as a gift and pays for it out of his own pocket, it may end up in "the Downing Street collection of gifts from foreign leaders". Either that or Gordon will Ebay it. A one-off jacket with the US bald eagle emblem on it? You can make major dough from conspiracy theorists in Roswell country for that. And Gordon knows the pound is much stronger than the dollar (holla). Because he set it up to be that way.

Prince had the day off - those black M&M's won't eat themselves - while the newspapers leapt into action. After finishing off his set in the O2 he slid over to the IndigO2 Bar to continue jamming with The New Power Generation. The Sun billed it as The "Brave Beginning Of A Purple Reign". The Standard gave him page 3. He's back at it tomorrow.
