Get lost, Gordon
Delightful:
Downing Street has insisted Gordon Brown was just "doing what he was told" after apparently getting lost at the state banquet for Nicolas Sarkozy. [...]
President Sarkozy sat between the Queen and the Duchess of Cornwall, while his wife Carla sat on the other side of the table. Mr Brown was due to sit opposite as well, but, judging by the Queen's comments picked up by television microphones, must have taken his seat late.
In television footage, the Queen can be heard saying to Princess Anne: "The prime minister got lost. He disappeared the wrong way... at the crucial moment."
No 10 said the PM "does what he's told on these state occasions".
Let us hope he does what he's told when the electorate tell him to get lost.
