“Spads” is apparently what Westminster Village bores call special advisors. According to The World At One, “successful [sic] former spads include David Cameron and Andy Burnham”. Sometimes this blog just writes itself.
Back when Derek Draper was known as “Dolly”, his intimacy with Peter Mandelson took him at least to the outer circle. Then he had to go. But he came back. What secret political influence has Kate Garraway, one wonders? Anyway, now he has to go again. So, what might bring him back for a Mandy-like third time? And why?
Note that only Nadine Dorries has put up any sort of fight. For, as set out here yesterday, only she was or is a real target. Her moral and social conservatism, though moderate anyway, makes her intolerable to the clap-ridden, the cross-dressing and the cocaine-addled. Or “spads”, as at least some of them may be known for short.
