Monday
Ugh. Have been in Tranquillity Room all day. Was meant to be briefing Mr Gove’s new policy of making all children geniuses by age of six but got migraine. Told Jed I would be lying in the dark thought-storming.
Wondered a lot about how our proposal to end mixed-ability classes and bring in ‘setting’ might be applied to the shadow Cabinet. Obviously Mr Letwin, Mr Willetts and Mr Gove would be in the top set. Gids, Mr Hague and Foxy would be in the middle. Spelman, Lansley, May, Villiers and little Grant Shapps would be in the bottom, might even qualify for extra tuition. DD and Mr Mitchell would have to go in that special class they have for ‘challenging kids’.
Anyway, was midway through my deliberations when Mr Letwin burst in with his shirt hanging out all over the place and his hair standing on end. He flung himself on the waterfuton, shouted ‘Oh, oh, ow, oooooh, supply-side revolution!’ then leapt back up and stormed out again.
