Here is the latest statement from the Bear:
'Could I make it clear that I knew nothing whatsoever about Michael Rosen's entirely unacceptable behaviour towards me and the Bear Hunt fund. I am indeed extremely pleased that he has resigned.
Any suggestion that having a meal with me in my lair or indeed anywhere else would have enabled a person to influence my views on hibernation, berry-gathering, salmon-catching or any other bearish activities is entirely untrue.
