About a month ago I had News 24 on in the background when I heard James Landale, their chief political correspondent, say, “Jon Cruddas joins the ever-increasing set of
horses who are throwing in their hats for the race to become deputy leader of the Labour Party”. This seemed excessively silly even for live TV, so I sent it in to
Private Eye, who duly published it and sent me a tenner.
The day after it came out I passed James Landale in the ‘Aye’ lobby. I thought, “Technically, I probably owe you a drink for that”. But I
didn’t buy him one.
