As everyone heads home from Gateshead, I thought I’d just share with you a few more snippets of gossip from the weekend.
A certain parliamentarian jumped past everyone in the security queue with a definite air of superiority. They can’t have been in that much of a hurry, because they were able to find time to spend 10 minutes chatting at the entrance.
When Nick Clegg paid tribute to Chris Huhne during his speech, the hall erupted in applause – and none other than his former wife Vicky Pryce was seen joining in.
And, finally, we are glad to bring you the good news that Lembit Opik’s book has one avid reader, spotted at the Liberal Left fringe last night. Sadly, that reader was Lembit himself.
