Crisis What crisis

El Gordo is here in teh Parliament, and ios about to be given some stick by the Socialist Group for publically backing Barosso, rather than the socilaist candidate for the next Commission President. Giiven that Martin Schulz the leader of the PES wants the job, no surprises there.

But what is this I see on the blue screen announcement board. Yes hold the front page, and Italian MEP has got a press conference in half an hour,

Iles Braghetto MEP (EPP-ED, Italy) on 'European Day of home-made ice cream'

Dammit, what am I doing in my office. This is ground breaking stuff.

Update
Mark Mardell made it along but forebore to scoff.
