Quotes

Asked whether Johnson could combine being London mayor with a return to parliament, Cameron told The Sunday Times newspaper: "Boris can do anything, that's the moral of the story of Boris"
David Cameron's penchant for surrounding himself with fellow Old Etonians is more pronounced than I thought. "It's worth mentioning Charlie Taylor, who advised him on school behaviour, and the Hon Sebastian James, a fellow Bullingdon ClubClub member who reported on school buildings" says my source. I wonder if Dave will regret allowing the 'crony' perception to define his premiership
...Harris says Michael Havers' credibility was 'non-existent' because "he spent his lunchtimes telling journalists at the Garrick Club all the tastiest government gossip of the day" . What a bounder! Yet Thatcher elevated him to Lord Chancellor in order to double his pension
