The Master regenerates? The headlines and the TV coverage tell us that Labour party conference today gave a standing ovation to Peter Mandelson, Peer of the Realm, Deputy Prime Minister and Cabinet Minister.
Mandelson came across as his usual supercilious self, speaking in his ministerial capacity, and outlining what a trade minister should say, about an active industrial policy, and about the need for research and development.
He attacked the Tories in terms that they deserve. “Withdrawing from the economy now as Mr Osborne demands would choke off the recovery even before it has properly begun”
“Tory policy would not just put the recovery at risk but would have made the recession deeper, longer and far worse”
At least he tried to rally the troops. declaring that if he could come back, the party could come back.......
The conference responded to this with a standing ovation. So it played well in the hall, proving once and for all that Labour Party conference exists in another time/ space continuum from the rest of the universe.
Mandelson playing to the gallery, Mandelson popular in the party, Mandelson is talked about as a future leader of the party. MM.
Well the Master regenerated once to cause havoc on earth and with the Doctor.
