He’s very cool, Lord Mandelson of Hartlepool and Foy. In the sense of never getting over-heated. Except this time. ‘You may think it’s funny and cheap to make snidey remarks about how I could afford to live where I do. If my mother had not got Alzheimer’s and hadn’t died, I wouldn’t be able to live there. And I’d prefer my mother still to be alive.’

Tell me, what do you make of him?
Do you really expect any Labour politician – or Labour voter actually to respond with anythimg but suspicion ot the Daily mail?!!
