Peter Mandelson was interviewed by James Naughtie on the Today programme this morning on BBC Radio 4.
The Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills was slightly hesitant, and his delivery included pauses, audible swallowing, and a slightly hysterical "let me make my point".
The interview was presaged by the BBC's political editor Nick Robinson.
Lord Mandelson couldn't resist swiping at Nick Robinson, claiming he was wrong to have said the Prime Minister's previous policy position had been one of "Labour investment" opposed to "Tory cuts".
In an act of nemesis the BBC produced the Prime Minister's actual words, spoken at Prime Minister's Questions, and asked Peter Mandelson while he was still on air to correct himself. It left him looking very foolish. He finished the interview snarling.
