Gordon Brown has gone Bananas!

[United-Clowgon]

The Prime Minister has turned to the fruit as a substitute for KitKat bars to give him the energy to survive long days at No 10, according to reports.


Mrs Brown apparently told her husband to reduce his chocolate intake in an effort to get him in shape before the general election, which is expected in May.


A Downing Street spokesman said: "The Prime Minister has always taken the view that a balanced diet is very important


"Portions of fruit and veg taken on a daily basis can only lead to good health and radiance."


But pressed on whether he was eating as many as nine bananas a day, the spokesman refused to be drawn and said that it was simply "speculation".


The Sun newspaper claimed that Mr Brown's three-KitKat-a-day habit had been significantly reduced, with the Prime Minister now only treating himself when under extreme pressure.


It quoted a Downing Street source as saying: "Like with everything, Gordon is an obsessive. Bananas are his big thing now – he can't get enough of them."


"The PM has always liked to chew on something during endless meetings. So the suggestion was made to him that bananas might be a more healthy option that the KitKats and fizzy drinks he loves.
"He knows he's up against two fitter and younger men in David Cameron and Nick Clegg during the Election campaign, so he's keen to look a bit leaner. He has taken up jogging and goes to the gym."


Bananas and politicians do not always go well together. A photograph of David Miliband holding one the fruits during the Labour conference in September 2008 came to symbolise his perceived immaturity, undermining his leadership hopes.

I bet he's used his expenses to pay for these! :@

I'm not really concerned if he's spending his expenses on bananas to be honest, they only cost a few quid.

The David Miliband photo is hilarious, this is the Foreign Minister who's meant to be taking a tough stand against the likes of Iran. It's no wonder they can't take him seriously.

I do, especially when the man is on over £100k a year. On Milliband, sums this government up really doesn't it.
