Lord Mandelson has been presented with the Best Newcomer (or New Comb-over, or whatever the actual wording was) Award at The Spectator's annual Parliamentarian Of The Year knees-up.
So far, so bad; but the man doing the presenting was none other than George Osbourne, Mandy's rival in this autumn's dodgy donations row.
I have no problem with political narrow-escape artists mopping their brows and having the sense of humour to quip about how best not to get fired from the Cabinet for a third time (both men were, to give them their due, quite funny). But it seemed slightly shabby of the Speccie to connive at - and/or stage - the oleaginous, hypocritical charade.
