Hugo Rifkind’s People column (half way down)
Back at work today, Tony Blair yesterday hosted a summit on social exclusion at Chequers.
‘Listen,’ we ask the Downing Street press office. ‘Social exclusion. Chequers. You guys must have spotted the incongruity here?‘ ‘
Um, no,’ says the press office.
Ah well. Can we come? ‘
No. You aren’t social exclusion experts,’ replies the press office.
We are now.

Michael Gove’s column: (half way down)
To be taken with a pinch of salt
If you, like me have been on holiday, here’s a quick catch-up on foreign affairs.
– Hezbollah appears to be the victor of the war in Lebanon. But, oddly, its leader, Sheikh Nasrallah, has said: ‘Had we known that the captive operation would result in such a war, we would not have carried it out at all‘. So, if he really did win, why did he wish it had never happened?
– France, we are told, has restored its authority by brokering the UN resolution which brought about this ceasefire. But, curiously, the French were so confident in their resolution that they were to deploy only 200 troops out of the 15,000 they deemed necessary. Then they found another 1,800 when the Italians were about to assume leadership of the force

Both from the (London) Times
