Extraordinary intervention on World at One


Take a listen to Today's World at one which saw a most remarkable intervention by a Press Officer during an interview with the works and pensions minister James Plaskitt.

He was interviewed over the dire ecomonic news of the day but when the topic turned to Gordon Brown the following intervention took place.

Shaun Ley-Are you worrying that this collection of cenomic data today including unemployment will further destabilise the Prime Minister

Plaskitt-I am not commenting on that issue,as I made clear about that

Mystery voice from back of room-we are only talking about today's unemployment figures

Shaun Ley-Surebut you are a minister,a member of his government-

Plaskitt-the answers no

Hat Tip-Iain Dale
