BBC – Tessa Jowell splits from husband: Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell and husband David Mills are to separate, it has been revealed. Mr Mills’ lawyer said their marriage had been put under “strain” by the controversy over their finances.
What, so it’s our fault? Again? Tch.
Craig Murray – If Fred and Rosemary West Had Separated, Would That Have Made Them Innocent?: Who could be so stupid as to buy this crap? Well, the BBC has been reporting it all morning without the tiniest touch of irony. Even the saintly Martin Bell was wheeled out to say that Tessa is now out of the woods.
UPDATE:
Beau Bo D’Or – Tessa Jowell Separation – A Statement: It is announced today (4th March 2006) that the joint account of Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell and husband David Mills is to separate due to undue speculation on its relationship with several other bank accounts. The joint account is to separate immediately but may take several working days to clear. The two parties formed by the division of the aforementioned account will live separate lives in two non-related banks. Despite this split, it is expected that both separate accounts will still attract very high interest.

Manic, I’m taking the cynicism about Jowell one logical step further – here’s the text of a note I’ve sent to the Beeb website.”How cynical to suggest Jowell has sacrificed her marriage to save her career. There is no sacrifice OR separation – it’s just another lie so that when more worms come out of Mills’ woodwork she can say “How terrible, who’d have thought it – now you know why I left him” and then when it’s politically expedient and the fuss has died down they will miraculously get back together. Obviously she’ll have to rent somewhere in the meantime – she won’t get a mortgage now will she ?Unless someone in the Labour party could lend her a few hundred thousand…….Geoffrey Robinson perhaps ?Oh, I forgot..ALLEGEDLY. You can publish this now can’t you ?”Personally I think she’ll ‘resign’ before the end of the week, but of course she’ll be back through the cabinet’s revolving door before long. Given her experience would something to do with housing or finance be appropriate ?Or perhaps even Secretary of State for the Ministry of Truth ??
