[lindapalmara]

The Labour Leader has hired then£10,000 a day American "Charisma Coach" Michael Sheehan. He also advised Gordon Brown!!! You couldn't make it up !!!

Despite all that you and others say linda, Labour are STILL ahead in the Polls

Still lots of room for improvement in the Tory Camp it would seem !

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

I thought you were talking about Ab Editor. He seems to ooze charm and that would have been money wasted. ☺

[lindapalmara]

I wasn't even thinking about polls Mikey. I thought I'd heard it all till I saw the words Charisma Coach. Gave me my first laugh of the day. Did your Mr Bevan ever need one?

[Peter Pedant]

yup I thought it was the AB editor


whose charisma positively comes under my door

[lindapalmara]

Gosh, when are you going to introduce him to me? Sounds quite dishy! (No, not that Ed)

[mikey4444]

Linda...I am only teasing ! I can't find any reference to a "Charisma Coach" on the BBC News Website, which is my main resource for news, although I am not doubting your story for one minute.

Do you have a link to this coach please ?

[lindapalmara]

No, it's in the dreaded Mail on Sunday, article by Glen Owen, page 8. I can usually find a link but not this time.

[mikey4444]

Thank you Linda. I am off to buy the Observer soon, so I might, just might, have a peep inside the Mail on Sunday......a tiny little peep can't do any harm I suppose, as long as nobody sees me !

[lindapalmara]

If they're sold out I will type the whole thing out for you, it's not that long.

[mikey4444]

Please don't go any trouble Linda. I am sure if its important enough, other more, reputable news sources will feature this !

10 grand a day, did gordon ask for a refund?

[agchristie]

Il buono, Il brutto, Il cattivo..

[lindapalmara]

Mikey, he's an award winning reporter, that's reputable enough for me.

I'm sure he's not called a charisma coach by anyone but Tories and their tame journos, but I imagine his job's much the same as the guy who got Thatcher to lower her voice and get better clothes

That was last year here is the latest.

Not such a "dreadful paper", as some would have us believe.

Mr Miliband HAS been training for the Live TV debate with Mr Cameron.
Mr Miliband's preparation for this has involved sessions with Alistair Campbell and others.
Mr Cameron's preparation has involved pretending that he wants the DUP involved in the other debates so that he can wriggle out of the whole thing when he is turned down

[ichkeria]

As for a "charisma" coach if I was Ed I would just get on with being myself because any attempt to change is bound to look unconvincing.
Let people reject Labour on their policies if they must but not on the charisma or otherwise of their Leader. It is interesting that the Tories are focussing so much on this. Anyone would think they were alarmed that they might lose. I daresay they have seen the polls like everyone else

[mushroom25]

......and if the DUP do unexpectedly get admitted, he can lobby for the inclusion of George Galloway, and so ad infinitum.
