Lord Fondlebums PR man to makeover Cyclops.

A hat tip to Events dear boy who spotted this from the FT, which reports:

Gordon Brown is poised to hire the public relations man who helped revive the Queen’s image after the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, to try to restore his own battered reputation.

Simon Lewis, a suave spin doctor whose services have been sought by Buckingham Palace, Centrica and Vodafone, is said by colleagues to be on the verge of becoming Mr Brown’s official spokesman.

Here is the payoff.

He is an old acquaintance of Peter Mandelson, business secretary, who is charged with overhauling Mr Brown’s media operation and improving government strategic planning.

No doubt a cabinet job, peerage and perks will follow.

Gordon is still a turd no matter how much Simon polishes it.
