For love or money
It now transpires that all those from The Man of Steel’s gang who voted for The Khan’s Glaswegian Guv, didn’t do it for the money but for love, in a manner of speaking. We hear they voted for the Guv’s Senate seat in lieu of The Khan’s ticket which they got. An insider said the Guv is very careful with his hard earned cash & carry fortune.
On the other hand, Hubby’s pal and politico, and Senate hopeful, paid off 20 of The Great Khan’s horde and when he didn’t get his seat, cried foul. He’s the one who spilled the beans to the PTI and got them all thrown out.
Overtures
We hear Chory Shuj of Guj and his cousin are very miffed with The Boyz. Their peeve is that their former party men, who crossed over to The Man of Steel when his sun was rising, haven’t been returned to them but encouraged to go to The Khan or run as Independents in the forthcoming elections. They’ve been waiting for aeons to be reunited with their bosom buddies of yore, but to no avail. So, when The Man of Steel reached out to them and offered to hug and make-up, letting bygones be bygones, the Chories did not spurn his overtures. We hear they are now in conversation. As the late lamented Big Ben used to say, “In politics, there are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends”. How right she was.
Staying put
If body language is anything to go by, Mr Bean ain’t going nowhere and is staying put with his mother party. He sat close to the PM throughout the budget presentation in the NA and hovered over him protectively.
