Hello Darling! This weeks card is the beleaguered Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alastair Darling, who this week was twice forced to apologise to Parliament, firstly for the Northern Rock fiasco, then the news that two computer discs containing the entire contents of the 25 million names on the Child Benefits database, representing every school-age child in the UK, had been lost in the post…
Week 38, and with the political conference season getting into swing, I present Lib Dem leader Menzies Campbell, who posed this week for a rather ill-advised photo of him pointing down a toilet…
A slightly delayed week 37, and as it was the week of the TUC Conference I give you General Secretary Brendan Barber, who failed in his attempt to put pressure on keynote speaker Gordon Brown to raise pay for public sector workers.
Well, I’ve been a bit remiss in posting cards recently, so here’s a four week catch-up, starting with week ending 14th July and newly appointed Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, who revealed this week she had smoked cannabis as a student at university.
Halfway there, and only my first Queen. Although Harriet Harman is apparently Queen of Labour party members’ Hearts, having being elected Deputy Leader of the Labour party this week, her reward from new Prime Minister Gordon Brown was not Deputy PM, but, er, Leader of the House of Commons (with Minister for Women thrown into the bargain).
Week 21 – This week* Eton Educated Tory leader David Cameron announced that the Conservative party was to drop it’s commitment to grammar schools, a move which upset a lot of the old guard…
* Ok, so this is a week late… been a bit busy, so I’m running behind, sorry.
