Monday
It wasn’t easy for Dave to come out and say it but he was really brave. Personally, I can’t see what all the fuss is about. We never said we were definitely going to have a referendum. Just that we definitely wanted to. There are a lot of things we definitely want to do. It doesn’t mean we are definitely going to do them. Take our lovely new health policy, for example. Yes, Dave is ‘guaranteeing’ up to £1.5 billion of savings by cutting bureaucracy in the NHS. And of course, in an ideal world that would mean we actually did it. But it is not an ideal world. So it doesn’t. And that, as they say, is grown-up politics. Speaking of which, I must finish drafting a threatening letter to send to the horrid, beastly old meanies in South-West Norfolk. Poor Ms Truss. Dave is furious. Says when he’s finished with them they’ll be begging him to send them a woman who’s had an affair.
