A busy week, so just time for a word - literally.Shaun Woodward, faithful Brownite and ex-Tory, has missed out on promotion this time, it seems, so in his honour I should like to proffer the word tergiversator.
The word, courtsey of professor Erich Gruen, means a political turncoat (lit. one who turns his toga).
Meanwhile we observe with trepidation Glenys Kinnock's simultaneous elevation to the Cabinet and the House of Lords - be afraid, be very afraid!
