The Labour gags so bad they stayed classified for decades!

ALASTAIR Campbell suggested feeble jokes Tony Blair could use to ridicule Tory leader William Hague during Prime Minister’s Question Time.

Newly revealed documents show the former spin doctor, pictured, fed his boss put-downs including: ‘If the Tories want a comedian as a leader, they might as well go for Bernard Manning – though he might not be Rightwing enough.’

Another focused on the support of Lord Hague – Tory leader from 1997 to 2001 – for shamed grandee Jeffrey Archer’s doomed bid to become the first Mayor of London.

But it appears that both suggestions were over-ruled for use at PMQs. Mr Blair wrote that PMQs was not something ‘we should start panicking about’ and it was never ‘going to be other than something to endure’. He added: ‘It is, in my view, the worst forum in which to appear.’
