I’m riding home on the tube with my complimentary copy of the Evening Standard, looking at a photo of Sally Burcow (New Labour activist wife of the Speaker) wearing “nothing but a sheet”, accompanied by an interview concentrating on how “sexy” the office of Speaker and politics in general cab be.
This is either part of a plot to deliberately discredit her nominally Tory husband, or perhaps she really is that naive. If it’s the latter, you’d have thought he’d know better, at least.
Actually, I don’t think John Berco needs any more discrediting – it’s time for him to go.
Incidentally, it’s not the choice of sheet that bothers me personally, it’s the nature of the interview.
