Monday
Frantic Queen’s Speech rewrites. We’re having to take out references to ‘Dave’ and insert ‘my government’ — boring! I don’t see what’s wrong with ‘My Dave will build a Big Society where Britain is no longer broken, and chocolate oranges are kept well away from the cash tills at WH Smith.’ It didn’t help that the whole thing was leaked to the press, dropping us in it with the Palace who rang to ask ‘what sort of Mickey Mouse operation’ we were running. Not naming any sandal-wearing lefties, but we’ve decided on someone we’ll be blaming for this and all subsequent leaks. So he’d better keep up the ballroom dancing because he’s going to have a lot of time on his hands once we’ve finished slashing his department to ribbons. Still, at least we’ve managed to cut £6.2 billion from the deficit. Only another £149.8 billion to go!
Tuesday
Sam in a stinky mood.
