SUNDAY NIGHT
Dave’s private office has just rung to say he wants me to accompany him on his earth-saving trip to Norway to highlight global warming — am so excited my climate’s changing! (Memo to self — restrain rubbish humour, must be picking it up from poor Mr Letwin.) V. select group. DC, Chief of Staff, Environment Spokesman and me — not so shabby being on the ‘gumby’ Defra brief now, eh Poppy?! Best thing is we’re travelling there on luxury private plane.
MONDAY
Mentioned trip 17 times this morning. Made me popular for a bit but think may now be losing friends. The other press officers are clearly trying to ruin it. Sebastian complaining that we shouldn’t be going on a trip to highlight the harm done by carbon emissions on you-know-who’s private jet. Talk about sour grapes! Dave and Zac say it’s all right because we’ll offset the carbon emissions, and they tell me I’m to see to it.
