Ref the theft of parliamentary stuff. I once went -- for journalistic purposes, but without any accreditation, so just disguised as a member of the public -- to a "Westminster Hall" adjournment debate. I queued up, went through security, wandered into the Palace of Westminster, and promptly got lost. I wandered into three or four rooms -- all containing chairs, furniture, and Commons stationery -- before finding the right one. It would have been dead easy for me to half-inch any of it!
Hmm, Iain, I think Charles Crawford has delivered a smashing return to your list: the qualities needed to be a good prime minister rather than to climb the greasy bloodstained pole to being one.
But is there anyone like that out there? Please?
No, I didn't think so.
We tend to think that Tom Harris' review of 1984 was better than his Alistair Campbell one.
Iain, you have started to go "lalala" if you think that is the subject of interest on Tom Harris's blog.
The guy has been torn a new one re 1984 big enough to shove our national debt through. Twice.
Its a good job Sadie Smith had an irony by-pass early on isn`t it...
"D'you know, I think I vaguely remember a time when political shows had people who, yer know, ...knew about politics on them? But in this day and age we're cursed with the "random comedian" or, worse,the "token fruity blonde one"
