Guido broke the story before, so if there is also a politician involved I'm sure he will be in for the kill, unless he's still focusing on a northern batty boy.

These 'super injunctions' confuse me. What is stopping a blogger registering a website in an eastern European or African country and just publishing the information from there?

Guido's wiki:

"Staines reported the allegation that John Prescott was having an extramarital affair with an MP, and named the woman in question, saying that such rumours had long been shared among Westminster journalists, but that he was being less hypocritical and breaking the clique by refusing to cover up such stories.[30] The coverage of the Prescott affair drew considerable extra traffic to Staines's blog.[31] In a similar vein, Staines alleged that Andrew Marr had fathered the child of Alice Miles while married to Jackie Ashley, despite a legal injunction that prevented national newspapers from publishing this information."

If it is Andrew Marr who has been proven NOT to be the child's father, that can only be good news for the child long term, saves them being called 'Dumbo'!

I doubt it was blinky, although given she also shagged Andrew Marr, I suppose anything's possible!


If, as the Mail hints, it was an ex-minister, these are the main Cabinet-attending options (excluding women and Lord Mandleson):

Gordon Brown
Alistair Darling
David Miliband
Jack Straw
Alan Johnson
Hilary Benn
Douglas Alexander
John Denham
Ed Balls
Ed Miliband
Andrew Burnham
Shaun Woodward
Jim Murphy
Liam Byrne
Peter Hain
Lord Adonis
Ben Bradshaw
Nick Brown
John Healey
Pat McFadden
Lord Drayson


In the grand PH "who is the father of Alice Miles' baby" sweep, I'm going to go for... fk it, yes, Ed Balls.

Because it would be very funny indeed biggrinbiggrin
