To the Westbourne summer party where James Bethell and Iain Anderson were celebrating the new merger between their respective companies Westbourne and Cicero. Only the speech didn’t go quite to plan. To much laughter, Bethell told partygoers that the Cabinet big beasts hadn’t been able to make the bash – but had sent their apologies.
Boris Johnson had wanted to have his cake and eat it, Theresa May to try and bake a cake and David Davis was too busy delivering said cake… Only as the public affairs honcho was reading out the Brexit Secretary’s ‘excuse’, Davis walked in to the party and grabbed the mic:
‘Let me read it out for you… sorry not to be here I am an SAS man who is busy delivering cake’
Davis was certainly in a cheery mood at the bash. Will he be so happy at the end of the day after the crunch vote has taken place?
