You may recall the story of James Purnell and the photoshopping incident - an NHS Trust faked a photo featuring him, the Trust and he then gave differing accounts of how it happened, he then bombed out in a rather funny TV piece trying to defend his line that he didn’t know what was going to happen and wasn’t in any way to blame for the fakery and then Pink Dog got dragged into the whole saga.
Yesterday the Telegraph and today the Mail have unearthed more evidence, and it’s looking pretty bleak for James Purnell:
After his image was inserted into a series of faked publicity shots, James Purnell insisted it was done without his knowledge or consent.
But yesterday the Culture Secretary was left red faced after it emerged that the photos had been emailed to him in advance for his approval.
Oops.

The fact that this guy is pals with Andy ‘Bonkers’ Burnham tells you everything you need to know about him..
A couple of ‘likely lads’ on the make if ever I saw them..
Yes. These were definitely the people who weren’t there when my photo was taken.
But wasn’t I standing between Madonna and Nelson Mandela?
If he replied saying they were OK he’s surely toast? For the time being at least.
