The Dear Gill letters (4)

The insider girl's view of number 10...





Happy New Year to you and yours! Since my last letter we have had such a great time. Really wonderful for Dave and I to spend some quality time together without some frightful politician sticking his oar in all the time.

I said to Dave "Look, darling, the house isn't sitting so just let Nick get on with it for a while. He can't do too much damage while there's nothing to vote on!" and it's been luverly. Just laying back and watching the telly and playing with the kids. Heaven!

Talking of the telly, did you see Vince on Strictly. Nick was a bit peeved when he found out he was going to do it, but Dave said "No. Let him have a bit of fun." Actually, I think it was just to let him lay back a bit before those awful banker people land on him like tons of the old proverbial. I mean, I ask you. What's wrong with making a few quid in bonuses anyway? I think people are just jealous, but to be honest we don't begrudge Vince a good rollocking after those silly remarks he made about nukes! I mean, darling, why can't he just grasp the principal of collective cabinet responsibility - or as Dave calls it, doing what you're damn well told!

Hasn't the weather been simply frightful? Dave says thank God for devolution! Can you imagine the flack we would have got if there hadn't been a Scottish minister to take the fall? After all, they can't be silly enough to expect us to be sympathetic when they couldn't even elect one single Tory in the whole of Scotland. Serves the haggis bashing lefties right as far as I am concerned - just don't tell Dave I said so! Last thing we need is a referendum on independence. It's bad enough having to have one on voting!

Maybe it's just as well that we couldn't go to Thailand in the end. I mean can you imagine us stuck in the first class lounge at Heathrow for three days? At least with Chequers, there's always a convenient RAF helicoptor available if we're really stuck. Might even get that dishy Wills to fly it for us!

And, oh Sweetie! Don't they make such a delightful couple? So photogenic - that Kate's a real stunner. Even nicer in the flesh apparently. As Dave says, you just have to see these people for real these days what with all the airbrushing in the photos and stuff. Dave says he doesn't even want to think about touching people up after the stick he got during the election!

Still, new year - new problems. Dave's wondering how he can let the LibDems win the by-election without being seen to let them win and without getting a load of flack from the Milipedes for 'losing popular support'. I mean, we know we can't win it but we have to be seen to try. I said to Dave "For God's sake keep your distance from it, or you never know what the those dreadful student and lefties will cook up."

Anyway, better close. Perhaps we can do lunch once your hubby's loverly big bonus comes through? You can take me for a spin in his shiney new Porsche! Toodle pip!
