There are indeed media reports of Mad George phoning the Poodle to complain about Straw's stance on Iran...
Incidentally, the BBC quotes Trust-me-Tone as saying "Mrs Beckett was an outstanding politician who was a 'safe pair of hands' with much international experience."
'Safe pair of hands'? Isn't that a euphemism for 'will do as she's told'?
Still, it's more than can be said of Groper Two $hags' hands!
