Can we please stop calling each other names?

I bet you'd grow to like Boris if you listened to him narrating hsi biography of Churchill.

Plus, he likes a drink.

Give him a chance, la. You might end up the best of chums!

I liked the fact that he got a bóllocking for spilling wine on the sofa. We've all been there.

Well that goes to show what I know. I suppose I must have just thought that the only people from whom I've ever heard that level of hatred for Gove were teachers, added two and two together and made five. Silly me.

You need to get out more Having worked for him, I have often stood up for him in the past, but his current incarnation is that a horrible **** (Gove not F - I haven't seen F for a while)

Yes, I'd categorise him as an habitual lefty rather than an ideological one. Could be wrong, though.

And I think it's important to clarify that you went to Ian Harvey's wedding, not me.

Is he still married to her?

I have no idea. The day of his nuptials was the last contact I had with him.

I felt it important to take advantage of the free food and booze.

She's got some Hampsteads on her, thon First Lady. Getting a bóllocking is one thing, but imagine if she chewed you out!

Of course. And didn't it give you an opportunity to drunkenly abuse someone? Was that the one where you suggested a woman was fat or said something racist?

I used to think 'nuptials' was a dirty word when I was little. I was quite disappointed to discover it just meant wedding.

Yes, I am afraid I was appallingly rude to the young lady sitting next to me (who happily took it all in good part) and then inadvertantly racist. On about 6 occasions.

Yes. In some lights she's quite attractive, in others not. Are they actually living in sin in Number 10? Or does she just pop round when he's up for a spot?

I bet the poor bloke hasn't had the energy for a shag in months. Imagine the misery of life as PM. I bet you get an hour off in the evening before your four hours sleep, then back to it... yeeuch.

Yes. They tend to emerge from office looking about a hundred years old and with a weird, haunted look. Only Cameron seems to have avoided that in recent years. He seems to have come out relatively unscathed.

I think it is a bloody awful job. No wonder they all love it when they get to do fun stuff like have wars or order airstrikes.

It was a very good book - I enjoyed it. I have no problem with Boris just the way the party has gone and his part in facilitating it. Raab and Patel in two of the great positions of state ffs
