Travels with Gordon

Editor back online – I have been in the States with Gordon’s travelling party, and fascinating it was, too. Though an evangelical convert to blogging, I thought on this occasion I would break my own rule (Always Be Posting) and save my thoughts for a full report in tomorrow’s magazine. In any case, mobile phones don’t work at Camp David, a naval facility where the Marines take no nonsense from British hacks fussing over their laptops and Blackberries. Suffice it to say that the trip was an unmissable experience, watching a new Prime Minister and his gang settling into their roles with all eyes upon them. You can read my despatch tomorrow.
