Well, I like pie

The story about Cherie's comment is apparently all over the fornt pages instead of Gordon. I imagine she will be happy. The most amusing thing from it all is the apparent line that Downing Street put out to the lobby yesterday. They said that rather than saying "well that's a lie" what Cherie actually said was "well, can I get by". Then they said she didn't in fact say anything at all.

All rather hilarious to say the least. Interestingly, from what I've just been able to read in a few papers, the line doesn't appear to actually deny Cherie was in the location that the Bloomberg journalist was when she said she overheard her.

Odd that, given Cherie is a lawyer, there have been no libel claims thrown out yet. If it's so clearly untrue you'd have thought Cherie and Tony would go for it given the size of the mortgage.
