Notting Hill Nobody | 6 October 2007

Sunday

Am shattered from lugging huge bag of policies around. Felt like asking Mr Gove what exactly he’d put in his blasted School Reforms, but just about controlled self. Plus, the poor girls working for Gids are having to cope with a Mulberry hold-all each of tax cuts so I suppose I shouldn’t complain. Anyway, was already tired and emotional when Mrs May got up on stage in her leopard-patterned wellies. As if it’s not bad enough that I’ve forgotten to pack my London Sole sequinned ballet pumps, I now have to go rummaging around Blackpool for designer wellingtons. I simply couldn’t be more stressed. Am also v worried about these tax cuts. It’s all very well for Jed to say it doesn’t mean we’re right-wing, but it just feels, well, right-wing …in a very real sense. Have just dropped hold-all in lobby of hotel. Turns out bag was full of research showing the connection between the wearing of blazers and high exam scores.
