Health Secretary Alan Johnson is a popular guy. Or at least that's how he's written up in the press. Charming, personable, relaxed, authentic - Alan Johnson appears to be the very antidote to the more unattractive MPs currently serving. What's he like away from the cameras?

When he was simply buying his lunch after PMQs today, Johnson beamed as he was paying causing the lady behind the till in the cafeteria to jump off her stool and give him an enormous hug.

Following up a minute later was Cabinet Office Minister and Brown enforcer Liam Byrne who didn't get a hug.
