According to Rachel Sylvester: 'Alastair Campbell used to refer Mr Blair, Mr Brown and Lord Mandelson as the “three poofs”. Why?

Rachel Sylvester in The Times writes that:

'Alastair Campbell used to refer Mr Blair, Mr Brown and Lord Mandelson as the “three poofs”.'

Why? Surely Tony Blair and Gordon Brown are happily married men (and not to each other)? Reminds me of something I wrote back in March:

'Martin Popplewell, quizzing Gordon Brown for GT magazine, put it to the Prime Minister that, if he had to have a homosexual relationship, would it be with Will Young, Brad Pitt (who happens to be heterosexual) or Lord Mandelson?

"Oh, come on," Brown told the journalist, laughing. "You're not going to expect me to answer the question, given what Peter would say, whatever I said."

"Don't tell Peter," Popplewell responded.

"Well, he'll know," Brown replied, plaintively. "You know what Peter's like."'

That's an odd question to ask Gordon Brown unless you bear in mind the rumours that have been circulating for many years about Gordon Brown, Peter 'outed by Matthew Parris' Mandelson and Tony 'Miranda' Blair.'

I suppose one day the truth will 'come out', or then again maybe not!
