Jeremy Hunt for Tory leader

By John Rentoul

I know this is two weeks old, but it is good. And it's Friday.

Jeremy Hunt is one of the 2005 Conservative intake, already in the shadow cabinet (as culture spokesman), and I am told that David Cameron thinks highly of him.

After reading this excerpt from a speech he delivered to Islington Tories before a firework display in Highbury, so do I:

God summoned President Bush, Prime Minister Putin and Lord Mandelson to heaven. He told them mankind had been so bad He was going to destroy the world. Putin returned to the Duma and said he had two pieces of bad news.

First, contrary to what the Communists had taught, God existed. Secondly, the world would end tomorrow.

Bush told Congress he had one bit of good news, one bad. God did exist  -  but he was going to destroy the world tomorrow.

Mandelson returned to Gordon Brown and, spinner that he is, said he had two pieces of good news. Firstly, that he, Peter Mandelson, really was one of the three most important people on the planet. And secondly, that David Miliband would never lead the Labour Party.

Very good indeed.

Strange country modern Britain.

I pointed out that Hunt's lame joke was stupid because Vladimir Putin is an staunchly capitalist Orthodox Christian.

Yet comments are deleted if they highlight the stupidity and ignorance of the received wisdom about foreign nations.
