At the earliest.
I am off to London for a couple of days. Things to do, people to see.
Political prisoner, activist, journalist, hymn-writer, emerging thinktanker, aspiring novelist, "tribal elder", 2019 parliamentary candidate for North West Durham, Shadow Leader of the Opposition, "Speedboat", "The Cockroach", eagerly awaiting the second (or possibly third) attempt to murder me.
I turned up for Peter Shore conference. What happened? You owe me for return ticket from St Albans.

DeleteI had a whale of a time in London. I always do.
It's always good to see you in Town.

DeleteLoving the look, Mr. L. The fancy shirt, the cufflinks, the pinstriped suit, the tie and hankie combo, the black shoes you can see your face in, the Prince Charles overcoat, the full length brolly, the immaculate poppies in both buttonholes (overcoat and jacket), the perfect side parting, the cleanest of clean shaves, you can even carry it all off with your walking stick. Right here in the heart of it all, you looked more like a Cabinet minister than any Cabinet minister I have ever met, and I have met ever Cabinet minister of the last 30 years.
