Nadine Dorries, the Tory MP for Mid-Bedfordhshire, will be blogging for Coffee House during conference.
Heading for Blackpool. Slammed the boot of the car shut on far more luggage than any woman not obsessed with shoes would normally have, when my BlackBerry warbled with a couple of messages.
First message was from my researcher which said “you were quoted by Andrew Pierce in the Telegraph yesterday with a sub heading – very good quote”. The second was from Nick Wood of Media Intelligence Partners. Nick headed up the Conservative Press Office through the Hague, IDS and Howard years. His said, “Just arrived. Are you here yet? Get a move on!”
Two things struck me as unusual. I would have expected the Telegraph message from Nick, he is after all a savvy media hack – and the why aren’t you here yet” message from my researcher, who is a media savvy nag.
