Is Simon Lewis up to the job?

The Guardian
is reporting the chaos surrounding No10 communications and the lies they pumped out about a phone call between Obama and Gordon. Essentially the spin put out in the evening was directly contradicted by Simon Lewis - head spinner, and brother of the Telegraph editor Will, the next morning. What is possibly the cruelest thing a journo could suggest about No10 spokesman?

"It sounds pernickety, it might even sound rough – but unless Lewis insists on being in on those conversations with Obama and Brown, he's not in the loop."

Ouch! Malcolm Tucker would have replied with "I am the fucking loop"...

...but it seems Mr Lewis is no Malcolm Tucker.
