Heartbroken Jowell 'sacrificed her marriage to save Tony Blair'

Glad to see that Our Great Leader is sooooo much more important than patching up your marriage, Tessa. That should keep you on the gravy train, eh?

[simpo two]

Cynical perhaps - but though I try to be as cynical as possible, I always underachieve when the true results are known.

I bet she still gets the boot before long, if not by Bliar by her constituents at the next election!

What caught my attention was the Labia Lackey on the Politicas show this morning who used the same wording whilst describing their marital status as the solicitor's statement yesterday. In some cases the wording was just similar ... in others it was verbatum. I had a sudden vision of a meeting with Alistair Campbell at the head of the table saying 'This is how we're going to handle it ... this is what we're going to say ... '

The phrase that struck me was 'He is as mortified as she has been angered by the embarrassment he has caused her.' Let's see how many times we can spot that line in interviews over the next day or so.

I can just see Alistair Campbell saying 'if you want to keep your job, then lets pretend you're separating from your husband. Once everything dies down, you can reconcilliate'.

I don't believe a single word of this!

She simply wants to spend less time with her family.

Yep, with total egotistical monsters like this in government, 'governing' what we do, is it any wonder family values are an outdated concept for this shower?

Whats funny is that I remember Labour scourning Maggie whan she made her 'There is no such thing as society' speech, now it's clear that Labour are no different, just out for themselves, no matter what the cost to others!

Power corrupts.

Trying to achieve absolute power turns one into an unprincipled bitch.

Mind you, cannot see what she sees in him, apart from his wallet.

Don't suppose she is a good lay either.

Roll on next general election I say, get rid of this whole load of *********************************************************************************************************************************************, (insert your own words)

[turbobloke]

They're hoping that things will get better and they can be reconciled in future.

Translated this means when it won't harm her career, or his bank balance (or likelihood of retaining freedom), or Tony's blood pressure, the hack hounds are off the scent and the public have other government incompetents and liars to focus on.

Pathetic. If the split was real there'd be room for sympathy.
