Culture secretary Ben Bradshaw has accused the Tories of being ‘homophobic’ as the battle for the gay vote heats up.
Tory leader David Cameron has put a lot of effort into being gay-friendly and Labour is also rattled by a poll by an outfit called Jake saying that gay people are likely to support the Conservatives in next year’s general election.
PM Gordon Brown even says he would have taken pride in a gay pride march on Saturday but had to cry off for ’security reasons.’ He must mean the prospect of being harangued by indefatigable campaigner Peter Tatchell.
Mr Blatherskite can’t imagine the buttoned-up Broonie doing this at all, security or no security.
So the rather more human Sarah Brown is going instead.
Isn’t it a shame she can’t take over the Government from her hapless husband?
She could bring along her new best best friend (BBF) Paris Hilton as chancellor. Paris, unlike Alistair Darling, never seems short of a bob or two.
