Daily Quote: William Hague on Peter Mandelson

Published by under Daily Quote

保守党影子内阁成员 William Hague 是有名的言辞犀利的政客,这个星期他在下议院辩论厅嘲笑布朗内阁改组之后的有着超长头衔的 Peter Mandelson:

And Lord Mandelson, denied the opportunity of becoming Foreign Secrectary, by the sad combination of a Prime Minister too weak to remove his Foreign Secrectary, being equally matched by Foregin Secrectary too weak to challenge the Prime Minister, has gone around instead collecting titles and even whole government department under his name. Now adding that the Right Honourable the Baron Mandelson of Foy in the County of Herefordshire and Hartpool in the County of Durham, First Secrectary of State, and Lord President of Privy Council, and Secrectary of State for Business, and Secrectary of State for Innovation and Skills. It would be no surprise to wake up in the morning and find him become an Archbishop.

这段话听录自BBC Radio 4 的 Week in Westminster 节目,不过如果一定要找文字记录的话,可以到议会网站找议会出版物 Hansard。

Buzzword: reshuffle

Published by under Buzzword

Reshuffle 多是用来指政府或者机构高层的人员重组。比如英国内阁会不定期的重组 reshuffle。这一两天媒体都在说 reshuffle 是因为原来被认为是比较势弱、在重组上牵制重重的布朗,竟然出了一着险棋,把布莱尔的老臣曼德尔森(Peter Mandelson)从欧盟贸易专员的位置拉进内阁。

The Times: Mandelson returns in Brown’s big gamble. The most daring resuffle in modern times.

The Guardian: Gordon Brown’s resuffle – LIVE.
