Mandy makes it it ermine!

Lord Mandelson has arrived, courtesy of the gravy train (no stops allowed!), in the House of Lords. This piece from the BBC shows fellow peers watching the proceedings in stony silence, until the obligatory roar of approval.

We will have to wait and see whether he is able to break the mould. At the despatch box he will have to cut a different cloth. However, the peers are not a herd and their instinct is not always determinable. In that he may be lucky (again!).
