Blair looks up at Brown from the bottom of a whiskey bottle

Apparently, some desperate Labour councillor has shelled out £100 for a bottle of House of Commons whiskey signed by Gordon Brown. At the same fudnraising auction the bottle of whiskey signed by Tony Blair only managed to make £50.

Something tells me it that just the one bottle of scotch may not be enough to cope with a Brown premiership.

someone ebay'd an empty one signed by some minister or other - got £1:50 I think

this things change hands for a lot more than these figures ... it's just a donation at the end of the day

we sell free range eggs in such auctions and the record for half a dozen is over £60 and they're not signed by anyone ...

the Blair one will be worth more undrunk in a few months than the Brown one ...

someone bought a copy of Balls' neo-classical endogynous growth theory tome signed by Balls for £140 at a do I went to 12 months ago

an everton shirt, also signed by someone significant went for £50 ...
