PM Gordon Brown claims he's taken up running although "it's difficult to fit it in", him being busily engaged on saving the world and all that. Given that Brown apparently rises at 4am (or maybe he doesn't go to bed at all) to send emails to hapless cabinet ministers he should have plenty of time for the odd jog. But it gave him an excuse to invite Derrick Evans, GMTV's fitness coach 'Mr Motivator' in for a fireside chat this morning, so the fib, if that's what it was, clearly paid off. Brown seems to have acquired a new spin doctor, based on his sudden desire to invite all and sundry from the media in to visit him at No 10. When he first took over he said that he was going to keep his home life out of things although, to be fair, Gordon's home life seems to consist of not much more than him prowling around Downing Street in a suit. He certainly hasn't been spotted in shorts running through St James's Park. At the weekend he had that nice Andrew Marr over for a televised chat about the economy, as you do on a Sunday morning. Does anyone really find this stuff convincing? It's clearly only a matter of time before he entertains Ant and Dec or asks in Ulrika Johnsson to chat her to her about being evicted from Celebrity Big Brother. Or he could rustle up an Arbroath Smokie with Jamie Oliver. It's all a case of too much (mis)information.
