Cheer up Gordon, you'll always have Jackie.

I posted earlier this week that senior Guardian political journalists Andrew Rawnsley and Polly Toynbee appeared to have given up on the Prime Minister as a man who can lead Labour to victory in the next General Election. I said at the time that only Jackie Ashley of the paper's prominent writers was still on his side. Well, having had a good few days, I can confirm that today's article confirms that she still is. There are early indications that he may be finding his way again after six months of more-or-less unremitting tribulation and- premature though she may be- Jackie is only to be happy to have her pom-poms out again!
