Today's columns

Simon Tisdall World Briefing

  The Hungarian prime minister has been remarkably honest this week. What if he wrote Blair's farewell speech?
Stuart Jeffries: The Guardian has learned that foul-mouthed, straight-talking Hungarian prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsany has been hired to write Tony Blair's final speech as prime minister to next week's Labour Party conference.
