“Considering that he is now MP for Stanfield and Cheltern, and a rising star in the Conservative party, this is hardly surprising; but I have always felt that something other than normal political considerations guides his reticence. This was confirmed a couple of nights ago. I set it down now in case I forget it, and because I’m quite sure it won’t make it into his political memoirs, if he is ever foolish enough to write them.

I can’t say I was a big fan of his at first — too full of himself, I thought — but I saw at once that he had some useful committee skills. It is well-known rule of committee life that there is always a Committee Bore.

It is usually not possible to get rid of him because the Bore is influential or rich, and mustn’t be offended in any way.MoreLessRead More Read Less
