One of the nicest men in the House of Commons is David MacLean. The day I became an MP he was the Chief Whip.

I remember most things that people said to me on that day.

David said (in his very Dr Findlay accent) “this place is full of clever buggers and a few nice people; when you get the two together you know you are on to a winner”.

Cheryl Gillan, MP and shadow minister for Wales, is one of those people.

In the tea room this morning she was watching my back and warned me to be careful writing my blog. “Don’t write about anything which will come back to haunt you” she said.

Mmmm……. Cheryl Gillan haunting me. ...is it worth it?

It’s been a fairly stressful week this week, sometimes Woburn feels a long way away when you have done 80 hours down here! Roll on the weekend.
