Funniest bit of Lord Levy's book:
...A few weeks afterwards, Tony turned to me as he was towelling down after a swim at my house in North London and remarked: "What am I going to do about Gordon and Mandelson?"
I had by now come to understand that whenever he asked that kind of question, he had a plan in mind – one that almost invariably involved me.
"You're good with people," he said. "Why don't you have a talk with them both, see whether you can patch things up?" I saw Peter first for lunch in the Commons and explained how worried Tony was about the friction between two of the people he most relied on to change Labour and the country.
Peter, who had been on the receiving end of many months of deadly glares from Gordon, said: "It's going to be difficult but if Tony wants us to have a go at patching things up, of course I'm ready to do anything I can."
Buoyed, if still not confident, I then arranged to have lunch with Gordon.
We met on a Wednesday in a crowded top-floor restaurant in Millbank, a few minutes' walk from Parliament.
Gordon was friendly – at least until I explained my mission.
"Make up with Peter?" he hissed in an angry whisper.
Then, as his voice gradually rose from dispatch-box volume to a near shout, he exclaimed: "Peter? He's been going around telling everyone that I'm gay! And I am NOT GAY!"
Dozens of people looked around in astonishment, no doubt assuming that I had tried – and thankfully failed – to proposition the Shadow Chancellor.
**Now there is an image I would rather not picture!
Tales about Mr Brown being a, ahem "mans man" have been doing the rounds for some years. Sure he is married and has kids, but well Rock Hudson was also married. I shall have to defer to Peter Mandelson's greater expertise at spotting gays, what is often referred to as "gaydar".
The fact that according to Mr Levy it was Tony Blair who wanted a meeting to sort out problems shows how bad the atmosphere must have been. Nothing worse than an embittered old queen, staring daggers at someone they dislike totally, causing an atmosphere in the workplace, the deadly silences, snide bitchy remarks....
It really must have been hell for both Blair and Peter Mandelson to put up with Gordon.
Although it does explain a lot, the mood swings, the shouting at staff, stories of mobiles being thrown, his inability to make decisions(pink or brown in Gordon's case), the fact that he has to live a lie with Mrs Brown and deny his needs.
Sadly the rest of us have to put up with the fact that an embittered old queen is running the nation.
Sadly he can not now come out having denied rumours when asked about that by Sue Lawley on BBC Radio's show Desert Island Discs. After all he would not want to be thought of as a liar, heaven forbid that that should happen!
Still at least Gordon can relax now that he has been outed, besides he is not the first gay to hold the office of Prime Minister.

Come to think of it Id fuck Cyclops....

I wonder if Mandelson and Gordo ever had a fling?
Could well explain as to how the odious Mandelson went around bitching behind cyclops back..
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...
Ooohhh how bitchy is that...
Best shut up now or he may well "EYE" me up....
Dirty Marxist tosser that he is...
Ive come up with a slogan for the Tories next general election push.
"New gaybour - shafting us all from behind".
You're right though.. the rumours that TOGK is a flaming Bertie are very widely known.....
