Hat Tip to Mark Russell of GQ

The Minister for Trichology I presume.


Tony Bliar - remember him? He was the one who decieved and manipulated you into thinking that a New Labour victory in 1997 would result in good governance.

Of course, you might not have bought this idea. I certainly never did and just maybe you didn't either.

Amongst other things Blair's years were characterised by spin, aka manipulation and deceit. One of the things that was spun was that the female contingent of Labour MPs were somehow 'babes'. Erm, excuse me?

I read a great piece by Mark Russell in GQ Magazine the other day (April 2009 edition). This article compared the relative attractiveness of British female politicians to their continental counterparts. All rather tongue in cheek of course , but I just had to share this quote :

"...that mendacious moniker 'Blair Babes' was surely a spin too far. Look at the famous 1997 photograph of the 101 female Mps alongside Blair on the steps of Church House in Westminster - its like a gaggle of underperforming supply teachers from the provinces out in the metropolis for an NUT conference."

I can only say : hahahahahaha!
