The promotional vehicle for Andrew Rawnsley’s Channel 4 documentary on Tony Blair’s premiereship trundles on, today with a quote on the Guardian arts blog:
“Of course Peter Mandelson had an almost homoerotic admiration for Tony – it was embarrassing,” opined Bazza in one of his gloriously unguarded off-piste moments.”
Greater love hath no man than one who didn’t know he’d be sacked twice in the next ten years.

I was glad to see your word “trundle” which confirms my suspicion that someone is drip-feeding tit-bits into the public domain from this programme with shameless calculation.
Hey, that’s telly
“Greater love hath no man than one who didn’t know he’d be sacked twice in the next ten years”
but did he continue to have his homoerotic admiration for Tony even after the 2 sackings?
If so, it can be a bit sodamodochist…
What is sodamodochism? Is it a loving of soft drinks?
This thread is a bit gay.
“What is sodamodochism? Is it a loving of soft drinks?”
No, that’s just terrible spelling (maybe combinded with soft drinks)
