Like Joe Docherty, Matthew Doyle was introduced to the House of Lords by Hilary Armstrong. Down the corridor back in the day, Armstrong’s Whips’ Office contained Ivor Caplin and Caplin’s close friend, Dan Norris, whose proxy vote is still always cast by a Labour Whip even though he supposedly does not have the Labour whip.
Meanwhile, on Armstrong’s staff as an MP was Caplin’s close friend, closest ally, sometime lover, and now constituency successor, Peter Kyle. Among others, including Anna Turley. It has never been the done thing in such circles either to display or to sing The Red Flag. Think on.
