To Labour party members:

[therealpm]

Do send your condolences to Chris. He's suffered a rather nasty flying rugby injury and is devastated at being unable to campaign door to door. I'm sure any expressions of sympathy would be most welcome.

Why aren't you in Buckinghamshire like a good little constituency MP?

I'm very glad you clarified your statement, John. I would hate to think that you were accusing me of something for which you have no evidence we put the brooms back perfectly again. Chris has stated publicly that it was a rugby injury. I hope you are not presuming to doubt his word?

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

Well he couldn't very well tell the nation's media that his injuries were gained through certain other activities, if indeed they had been attained from such pursuits, could he now Peter?

'certain other act-'

...

...what, precisely, are you implying, John?

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

You know exactly what I'm implying. If you want to learn that badly you could just swallow your pride and ask - I'm sure Freddie wouldn't mind you coming along when we go for practices back in Buckinghamshire. In fact, he'd probably enjoy it! Stop being so stubborn and causing broken limbs.

....go and fetch a bottle of something. Newsnight is on.

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

Very well...

*Gets bottle and pours drinks*

Debt... deficits... percentages of GDP... oh it's just like being back in the House. Are they going to shout about "13 years" for no discernible reason soon?

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

At last! Some appreciation of the importance of the BRIC bloc.

...what a terribly leading question to ask of a Tory advisor.

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

This is the BBC, Peter; they specialise in leading questions.

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

A politically charged opinion, John?

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

Hardly.

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

Good old Hattersley...

...Parris.

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

He's gone now, you can release your death-grip on the glass.

*coughs*
*passes hand over glass*
*cracks disappear*

Any views on constitutional reform with regard to the monarchy?

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

Nice try, Peter.

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

It is entirely true that the large influx of members is quite intolerable.

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

Of course you'd say that, Peter!

How is the Other Place these days, by the way?

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

Reassuringly red, thank you for asking.

*checks watch*

In the absence of 'This Week', I'm afraid the rest of this discussion will have to wait until a later date.

...let me know how Freddie gets on.

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

*finishes glass*

You are always more than welcome to tag along yourself if you wish. Freddie would be overjoyed...

But, as you said, the rest of the discussion will have to wait.

Pass my best wishes onto Chris if you see him before I do, won't you? Thanks.
