Mandelson’s holiday plans: no Russians, no yachts, no Osborne

George Osborne might be steering well clear of Corfu after all the trouble that his holiday encounters there last summer got him into, but Peter Mandelson is a fighter not a quitter and so has headed back to the island. His spokesman tells the Mirror that this trip will be “much less glamorous” than last year’s — “He is there for a week but this time without Russians, yachts or George Osborne” — and that the peer had flown out there on Easy Jet.
