Fit for Pensions
I bumped into pensions minister James Purnell today - on the tube. Impressive, not using the ministerial car. He had a gym bag on his shoulder - even more impressive. On the day of the second reading of the pensions bill, he was showing commendable insousiance. Even though his Government has destroyed pension provision in this country, James is a fine man and will no doubt be an effective Secretary of State for Culture under Gordon Brown’s all too brief tenure as Prime Minister.

He may not have been using the ministerial care then but, according to the Mail, it seems that he may have been using it to impress a certain Newsnight producer…
