Whaddya mean, just 69th?
A TORY-supporting newspaper has named the 100 most influential people in right-wing politics - with Birmingham MP Andrew Mitchell in at number 69.
It reports that Mr Mitchell (Con Sutton Coldfield) has excelled in his role as Shadow International Development Secretary and even turned down a "promotion" from David Cameron - arguing that international development was one of the most important jobs around.
All very flattering stuff, but apparently not flattering enough. My spies tell me Mr Mitchell contacted the compiler of the list and demanded to know why he was placed so low.
It seems he has drawn up his own league table and placed himself 14th.
