A mince pie problem


Adam Boulton believes that the PM might have a problem as he does his last news conference of the year this morning.

The problem is............mince pies.

Last year Brown set a precedent by distributing the pies to the assembled journalists but today according to Adam

the credit crunch poses even more delicate dilemmas for Number 10:

If Brown feeds the hacks is he trying to suck up to them in these difficult times?

Would the money be better spent on a charitable donation, as many are doing this year?

Will the hacks declare any largesse in their official statements of interest?

Will our frugal Leader find a few dozen mince pies at a big enough discount?
