Malloch-Brown will remain in the Lords after all

Following on from what he really believes, Malloch-Brown has ‘clarified’ what he told the Telegraph:

It is important that I clarify the comments that are reported in today's Daily Telegraph. On the issue of helicopters in Afghanistan, I was making the point, as the Prime Minister and commanders on the ground have also done, that while there are without doubt sufficient resources in place for current operations, we should always do what we can to make more available on the frontline.

After Mandy threatened to strip Malloch-Brown of his peerage, the above flowed effortlessly from his Lordship’s pen.
