And Peter Mandelson and Alan Milburn. If you'd said an unpleasantly Thatcherite North-East Mafia was running the country you might have a point.

There are Scots of course - Brown, Reid and Darling spring to mind, It's not particularly surprising though, as we currently have an (allegedly) Labour government, which after all has a substantial Scottish MP base, and what's more one that goes back a few years to when the party, er, didn't do quite so well in the south. Seniority would suggest a few Scots might have been around long enough to rise to high office.
