Tory spin doctor Andy Coulson to earn £2,375,000?
Yes, why did the Prime Minister omit his spin doctor Andy Coulson's salary from his latest stunt - the listing of the earnings of public sector drones on more than David Cameron himself? As Lord Prescott points out in a letter to No 10, it is said that Coulson is on £475,000 a year, dwarfing any other figure disclosed today. Over five years he will take home £2,375,000 - not bad for a man who cost his last employer Rupert Murdoch about £1m for bullying a member of his News of the World staff (£800k damages alone, a record sum for the type of case), and presided (while mentally absent) over the paper's illegal tapping of hundreds of celebrity phones - with another £1m loss to Murdoch when Max Clifford was bribed to go away.

Why do you say 5 years? Why not 3 or 2?
Fixed term parliaments will last 5 years if the coalition has its way. Doh!
Madame...I see from the front page of the blog that there will be an exhibit of Molly Parkin death masks at the NPG from from june 23rd to dec 31st.
Poor molly it looks as if the german corpse munger, Von Hagens has begun his 'plastination' process a little earlier than normaly would.
Has that man no respect for dear molly?
You impertinent guttersnipe. I'd have you know the portrait is almost photographic in its detail. Molly is a tribute to clean living and personal style, while others grow old with excuses.
