Darling-Gate: Will Alistair Campbell Return to No 10?
AS journos everywhere continue to debate to "worst downturn for 60 years" meme as if it referred to the British Economy directly rather than the World context the Independent have an exclusive about some chap moving desks at Number 10. As usual the Indy headline and the usual blog suspects suggest he is out the door. When he's merely down the corridor. UPDATE: Guido more sceptical.
Hopefully this desk move presages a return for Alistair Campbell, whose clever dabs might even yet be found on Darling-gate.

So, whose version rings truer, Chris. You seem to be the only one in step. And even if you are right about the downturn referring to the world situation rather than to the UK’s then what is the problem?
We were promised an “end to boom and bust”. Now I think that’s a rash, arrogant and undeliverable promise, but it was a promise nevertheless
You make my point for me very well. The UK Economy clearly IS NOT in the worst downturn for 60 years. And according to OECD it is in the best position of all to deal with the problem.
How exactly have I made your point?

And thanks for the reminder about Alistair Campbell. In our recent tiff about the link between pornographers and the Labour Party I had forgotten about the previous literary efforts of Ali C.
