Walking along the cloisters last night just before the vote, a Labour MP shuffled alongside me. “Great blog today”, he said, “you should have decked her.”

“Really?” said I. Honestly, just because I am from Liverpool!

“You do know what her nickname is over on our side don’t you?”

“No but go on, I just know you’re about to tell me…”

“The Black Widow. She would eat any man to get a job, and I’ll tell you what, there’s more that hate her on our side than do on yours.”

“Really ? Can I blog that?” said I.

“Aye” he said, “just don’t mention my name, or Tom Watson will kill me.”

Strange lot Labour MPs - decking, eating and killing each other. Thank goodness I am in the civilised Conservative Party!!!
