Tamzin Lightwater's unique take on the week

issue 03 April 2010

Monday

V dynamic strategy meeting. The challenge is clear: we must look more statesmanlike, whilst wearing Marlon Brando-style leather jackets. Jed is calling it ‘biker statesman chic’. He says Google executives have been doing it for years, there’s nothing to it. We must also find Dave some more budget accessories to wear following excellent coverage of his £1 belt in all the papers this weekend. I have been personally charged with this. Am being dispatched to the high street this lunchtime to find items that will appeal to Recession Strugglers, our key voter type in marginals. A nice pair of socks from Primark perhaps. Or a little man-bag canvas satchel from TopShop to carry his copy of the manifesto around in (when Mr letwin finally has the good grace to finish writing it!).

At least it will get me out of the office while all this terrible shouting is going on.
