Diary of a Notting Hill nobody – 31 March 2006

Tamzin Lightwater files her report

issue 01 April 2006

MONDAY
Orders from Dave. We must seize back the agenda, get everyone off sleaze. Problem is, DD wants to get stuck in and keeps ringing to set us on to some new loans-for-honours research project. Nigel says we must say, ‘Yes, right away, Mr Davis’ — and then get on with what we were doing.

Dave says the Tories have changed. The days of bare-faced hypocrisy are over. Nowadays, if we are sitting in a bloody big glass house we don’t throw stones around — OK?

It doesn’t seem fair. The Tories were the natural party of sleaze and now Labour has even taken that away from us.

TUESDAY
Big kerfuffle in reception. Nigel called security. But it was only Sir Bob coming in for his meeting with Dave. There was a lot of shouting as usual.
