There were unconfirmed reports that Mohammad Asgari, who was responsible for the security of the IT network in Iran’s interior ministry, was killed yesterday in a suspicious car accident in Tehran. Asgari had reportedly leaked evidence that the elections were rigged to alter the votes from the provinces. Asgari was said to have leaked information that showed Mousavi had won almost 19m votes, and should therefore be president.

It is me in the photograph. But it has been modified. The picture is not authentic. This is absolutely insolent interference in my privacy. Besides, there is nothing wrong or compromising. It was a private holiday in closed premises, not outside on a beach.

Translation: I didn’t do it. And even if I did it’s none of your business. And even if it is there’s nothing wrong with it.

This is beyond question the single most aggressive public act by a serving cabinet minister against his leader since Michael Heseltine walked out of the Thatcher cabinet over Westland in 1986. In the history of Labour governments it can only be compared with Nye Bevan’s departure from the Attlee government over prescription charges in 1951.

This isn’t a coup. It’s the despairing defection of a swathe of opinion that was vital to Labour’s electoral success and which is now in search of a new political project. Whether that project remains within the Labour party only time will tell.

Gordon Brown talks much about his Presbyterian past, but he has a story to tell - about personal morality, a sense of justice and a belief in the power of politics that does, at its best, appeal to the “better angels of our nature”, as he put it on his first day in Downing Street. The nation needs someone who answers this description to lead it now, just asLabour needs to find someone who is able to set out a case for progressive government. Political reform can no longer be put aside as an abstract idea, of appeal to dreamers but not to voters who face the harder realities of life. The public is calling furiously for a better system. People want an honest parliament. They want leaders who are prepared to act. They loathe the old system, and many of the people who are part of it.

The tragedy for Mr Brown and his party is that his chance to change it has gone.

If I wanted to read a write-up of how Manchester United fared last night in the Champions League Cup, I might open up a British newspaper. If I was looking for something that bordered on truthful news, I’m not entirely sure it’d be the first pack of clips I’d pick up.

IAN Thorpe’s mystery male friend and housemate has been unmasked - he is Brazilian swimmer Daniel Mendes. Mendes and Thorpe were photographed sunning themselves and playing in the surf at Fernando de Noronha in Brazil last week, where they were visiting Mendes’ family. The pictures were distributed worldwide but the identity of the man with Thorpe remained a mystery until they turned up in Australia.

I never traveled further North than old Van Courtland Park
and never further South than the aquarium
I’ve seen the charm of Jersey City, but first let me remark
I saw it from the empire state solarium
