It would be widely read by people who read the Independent. Not exactly the audience who most need to hear that information. But I do take the point about damaging John. It was a daft thing to do, and I really am awfully sorry.
So Yvette tells me on a regular basis, although her glare is not quite as impressive as yours. I just don't seem to be able to get the balance right. When I was ambitious I was completely insufferable- I don't think any of us want to have to put up with the me from ten years ago, especially not me- but now that I've stopped obsessing over advancement it's hard to find the self-discipline to be dull and reliable. And really, Immigration? How did I wind up our spokesman for the one brief in the entire shadow government that neither I nor anyone in my constituency cares about in the least? I know the party has to win back ground on this, and I'm flattered to be entrusted with it, honestly, but it is so bloody boring.
I will, I will. Though I suspect you're a canny enough prognosticator not to hold your breath.
