Gordon Brown “General election is on 6th May”

After a twenty minute round trip to Buckingham Palace, PM Gordon Brown emerged from number 10 Downing Street and announced the date for the General Election.

“This has got to be the worlds worst kept secret.” Said Gordon Brown joking to the selected members of the press assembled in Downing Street.

Surrounded by close aids – Lord Mandelson and Chancellor, Alistair Darling PM Gordon Brown tried hard to project a united front.

The sense of unity however was soon to be tested when a FLYPICS photographer exclusively snapped Peter Hooper from Windsor who was mounting his solo protest, “I’ve been here since 7am and travelled through London to make my protest.”

“The reason I’m carrying this pig is to highlight the fact that the party is in a complete mess. These politicians have all had their noses in the trough.” Exclaimed Mr. Hooper.

Baroness Scotland will have other things on her mind as today is the start of the trial involving her former house-keeper Loloahi Tapui. 

Baroness Scotland, the most senior government lawyer rushed from Downing Street to give evidence at Southwark Magistrates Court.

The 27 year Loloahi is on trial for fraud and falsifying documents, a charge which she denies. Baroness Scotland is due to give evidence on behalf of the prosecution.
