Not Another Sex Scandal!

More than 24 hours without blogging. Apologies. Went to visit my parents in Saffron Walden for my sister's 40th birthday and found that my computer wouldn't log on using dial-up. Never mind.

An intriguing little snippet caught my eye in today's Pendennis column in The Observer.

Here is a piece of information to send a chill wind through the corridors of power. A still-anonymous Tory politician has struck a deal with Richard Branson's Virgin publishing house to 'tell all'. Although everyone concerned is remaining tight-lipped about the author's identity, some choice details have been leaked to Pendennis. He is a married man; he has enjoyed visiting
prostitutes and fallen in love with one of them; he will lift the lid on
parliamentary sex scandals and lobbying. And yes, he is still involved in Tory
politics. To the author, I say: it's not too late to come clean before we unmask
you. To the readers, I say: names by email, please.

Rather than send your suspicions to The Observer, you could always send them to me - as you know, my lips are sealed. Or you could always send the the Tory Chief Whip Patrick McLoughlin!
