Beckett fooled by Bremner tells a story

I haven't been reading what the papers have reported of the incident of Rory Bremner calling Margaret Beckett under the pretence of being Gordon Brown. What amazes me though is not what she said but the story it tells of Cabinet. Bremner is an excellent impressionist but it's very unlikely that he would know how Brown speaks in private, his relationship with each member of the Cabinet, how he calls them etc. This must mean that the members of the Cabinet do not meet much, do not talk to each other much, but conduct business via intermediaries. The business of government at its highest level is still in the hands of civil servants and private secretaries. No team work there then!
