A quick animated version of the picture below.
If you’re reading on a feed, you may not see the animation and you’ll have to click through to the site to see it.

Somewhere on a yacht off a Greek island.

Sorry, couldn’t resist the Rainbow reference in the title.
I had such trouble matching colour, brightness and contrast. Finding out that the angle of my screen gives different results is pretty frustrating. Hope it’s OK on your monitors.
2 versions of this.

After their last satirical masterpiece, it looks like Chris Morris and Armando Iannucci have been at it again, writing a fawning article on Peter Mandelson for Guardian Unlimited, including the line “This is not so much the rebirth as the final maturing of new Labour,” this time under the pseudonym of Derek Draper.

The article is entitled ‘Mandelson is back where he belongs’, a bit too obvious a reference to the title song of the Richard Gere movie ‘An Officer and a Gentleman’ :
‘Some hang on to used-to-be
Live their lives looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our lives out there to find

The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day’

These guys are hilarious. Some people even believe the author is the real Derek Draper.

On another amusing note, from ‘enemies of reason’ : “Fox News, that bastion of journalistic integrity and unbiased news, is squealing like a scalded piggy because the Daily Mail, that bastion of journalistic integrity and unbiased news, has written stories that are rather similar - almost word-for-word similar.”
See Anton Vowl’s post here.

Peter Mandelson is brought back into the cabinet by Gordon Brown as Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform.

Where a panel with its own agenda is unusually kind to those who it is supposed to judge without bias.
Hopefully a much longer flash version next week.

*If they haven’t already done it, I expect the Conservatives will come up with a “It’s Not Really Hard, Labour” line for a comment or ad on crime and punishment.
(If they haven’t - cheques payable to…..)
