Liars' week at the Labour Party Conference

During Liars’ Week at the Labour Party Conference some years back – when Gordon pretended that he still had a lot of time for Tony, on hearing which Cherie  (Blair's partner) said that’s a lie, but being overheard herself had to deny she’d said any such thing, though the next day Tony more or less admitted that her denial wasn’t to be trusted either, before going on to pretend that he still admired Gordon too, and then pledging himself to the cause of peace in the Middle East – it was no surprise that the boldest liar of all came out on top. Fortune favours the brave. In politics, it is tempting to think that a lie is a lie is a lie, and since everyone is at it, all that matters is what you can get away with.
