Welcome Back, Mr Clarke


It is gratifying to see the Right Honourable Kenneth - Ken - Clarke, QC, MP, finally returning to his rightful place on the front benches of Her Majesty's Opposition. Mr Clarke has always had a refreshingly direct and frank political style, unlike most senior politicians nowadays.

Mr Clarke has always held strong pro-Europe views, and this stance does tend to alienate him from those who wish to keep our European cousins at arm's length.

No matter. I'm just pleased that he's back; and I am confident that Mr Clarke shall prove to be a formidable opponent against his ministerial counterpart, the Lord Mandelson. I have no doubt as to whom I'd consider the more trustworthy of the two; and it's not the scheming Machiavellian, Peter Mandelson.
