Bob Piper has been a Labour Councillor for the Abbey
Ward in Sandwell, West Midlands, for nine years. He is a lifelong supporter of Aston Villa Football Club and a follower of Yorkshire County Cricket Club.
The views expressed here are mine in a personal capacity, not those of the Labour Party, Sandwell MBC, Aston Villa or Yorkshire County Cricket Club. Get it! Mine... just mine!
Tom Watson no sooner flashes his underpants... and the next thing you know he is reshuffled into a job as parliamentary secretary at the Cabinet Office. I hope for the sake of us all he doesn't have to go any further in order to get another promotion.
"There are some who would widen the circle of their friends in that manner", a quip I read in a novel about 20 years ago and still tickles my sense of humour today.

Tom blogged then:
“It shouldn’t be neccesary (sic) but to amuse you: I promise never to return to government.
Good enough?”

Tom blogged yesterday:
“Somewhere in between (other events on Thursday) I was made a junior minister at the Cabinet Office”.
Who was it who said, "In politics, never underestimate the value of facing in both directions"?
