My spare thoughts each day are for my blog. Today they are totally devoted to what I am going to wear for the Spectator Summer Party tonight.

I will confess, this is the second event this week. The other was on a rooftop in Mayfair at a cosy climate change fundraiser. George (Osborne) spoke in front of a Brazilian band and I tasted a sea breeze for the first time.

The very small rooftop was full of Nancy Dell’ Olio, Tamara Beckwith and the Ground Force team.

I found it quite surreal. I imagine tonight’s party will be even more so.

It’s interesting how celebrities see a rising political party as a way to enhance their own profile. We saw it happen in ’97 with New Labour and the whole Cool Britannia schmoozathon.

It’s happening with the Conservative party, only there is a difference.

In ’97 New Labour actively sought the endorsement of celebrities. In ’09 celebrities seek the endorsement of the Conservative party. They want to be associated with us and ‘to help’.

The nice thing about David and George, is that it does all seem to run off them like water off a ducks back. They aren’t star struck in the way Blair, Campbell and Mandelsson appeared to be.

Some of the celebrities I have spoken to are full of enthusiasm, however, have zero knowledge of politics. Not that that’s a bad thing, however,  when one asked me the other night “do you work from home?”, I have to say, I was stuck for a reply.

“Not usually”, I answered and did that things celebrities do best; I scanned the room for someone slightly more enlightened to speak to, who was obviously far better dressed than I!
