Glenrothe

GORDON BROWN IS TALKING TO ALISTAIR DARLING.

ALISTAIR

Gordon I don't believe it we won Glenrothes.

GORDON MOANS IN PAIN AND GRABS HIS FACE,

ALISTAIR

Gordon are you ok? Are the stab wounds in your back playing up?

GORDON CARRYS ON MOANING AND HOLDING HIS FACE.

ALISTAIR

Is it the cheek Tony bit off when you nicked his job?

GORDON RAISES HIS HEAD HE IS SMILING.

ALISTAIR

You're smiling, oh God it's horrible.

GORDON

We won a minor seat and all I had to do was destroy the countries economy and make a half arsed effort to fix it. Kiss me Darling.

ALISTAIR

No Gordon you know how jealous Mandy gets. But what next there's not enough disasters to over turn Cameron's lead?

GORDON

But there will be, now where's the launch codes for our nuclear missile?

ALISTAIR

We're all doomed.

GORDON

We're not, but Notting hill, Liverpool and the wankers in Brighton are.

I quite like this pacey and well written. The standard comment for the forum would be to lose the dialogue between"fix it ...and...Mandy gets" as it is not integral to the story, although I like to see the odd gag along the way it works for me.
