Tamzin Lightwater's unique take on the week

issue 13 October 2007

Monday

What can I say?! Happiness and General Wellbeing levels through roof! Dave is the greatest! We’re definitely going to win in 2009!! But more importantly, I have been seconded on to the Brown Attack Unit!

Am at centre of fevered preparations ahead of PMQs involving cut-throat political strategy. So far have come up with Great Clunking Cowardy Custard and Big Fat Miserable Loser. For some reason, neither of these seem to have made it on to Jed’s shortlist of insults to be hurled across dispatch box by Dave, but there’s time yet. Have never seen Gids so happy. He’s commissioned limited-edition flock wallpaper with the words ‘I Told You Gordon Was Crap!’ in fancy lettering. So glad it came right for him in the end. To think we all had to brief that rubbish about being frightened!

DD not convinced, of course. Lots of safari metaphors about not poking a wounded lion until you’re sure he’s dead.
