Clare 4 Ming

I imagine everyone will have read the Femail interview with Clare Short.

Clare has fallen in love again - and you don´t need to be a devotee of GWB to agree that this is a fine thing.

But she can´t get away from politics, our Clare.

if love has mellowed Clare in many ways, she has lost none of her burning political passion.

A fierce critic of Tony Blair, she admires Liberal Democrat leader Sir Menzies Campbell - 'a real gentleman' - but has little time for David Cameron. 'He is doing another Blair,' Clare says. 'Very slick presentation, very glib soundbites. I just don't like that kind of politics. It's infected our system. But it won't change until this silly "PR spin" kind of politics ends.'

She also mentions "Ming's extraordinary recovery from cancer, his strength of willpower and character".

It's good to see such respect across political boundaries...

Any chance she is going to cross the floor?

Well I wouldn´t have thought so!

The interesting point is that she speaks warmly of Ming rather than Brown or Hain.
