Gordon in the morning: Jagger swagger
Not often the scribbling of Tom Newton Dunn, The Sun's political editor, makes it onto Gordon's pages, but his story today that Mick Jagger is going to help Cameron promote Britain.
Of course, this is at an event overseas; Jagger and The Rolling Stones being famously averse to spending too long in Britain lest they actually pay their fair share of tax.
It's at Davos, which will give Mick a chance to visit his money at the same time.
This, apparently, is a "publicity coup":
The Rolling Stones legend will be star attraction at an event in Switzerland organised by Downing Street to boost investment to the UK in the Olympics year.Hang about, though... what's this further down the story?
No10 is "tickled pink" with the publicity coup, a senior Government source told The Sun.
The tea party — officially hosted by London mayor Boris JohnsonSo it's not actually organised by Downing Street, then?
In case you don't already feel queasy enough at this, somebody has come up with a "No 10's Top 10" of hilariously retitled Rolling Stones songs. It includes Paint It Blue and Little Blue Rooster. No, really.
