Flip! I didn’t realise that being mentioned on Iain Dale’s blog last Friday would create so much work

The e-mails have poured in over the weekend and today.

A few points –

1. I will have comments soon. I am very nervous of being in the position whereby people can deposit comments on a site which bears my name. We all know what happened to Boris a few months ago – so I have to find a way around that conundrum, but it will happen, soon

2. I can’t do any more than I do. I am an MP, not a professional blogger. Finding the time is difficult as it is. However, I decided that if I was going to do a blog I would do it properly, and so I will, whenever I can, blog every day; but it won’t always happen.

3. I don’t have time to think about it. I just sit down and write the first thing that comes into my head. Being severely dyslexic means that I always have to have someone else read it for me before I post. If I could type in numbers it would be fine! There’s honesty then!!

4. NO thank you very much I am not looking for anyone to escort me anywhere! But thank you very much for the kind, well intentioned (I am sure) offers!!
