Amal Clooney has been giving Westminster an unusual touch of glamour this week, with the world’s most famous female barrister putting them away in the Red Lion pub on Monday night.
In a pub normally dominated by spotty parliamentary researchers and ale swilling trade unionists, it wasn’t hard for the human rights barrister to cause a bit of a stir. ‘I played it cool,’ says Mr S’s spy in the watering hole.
While Steerpike hears the woman that managed to tame Hollywood heart throb George Clooney, has been appearing at the Supreme Court, on Parliament Square, today she has found time to visit the House of Commons to see PMQs:
Amal Clooney is in the Commons gallery to watch PMQs, wearing, if I may say, the chicest white skirt suit.

Mr S expects a picture of Amal with the Speaker to appear any moment now.
