Samantha Cameron has risen even further in my estimation by declining to spend the week in Blackpool. She showed up on Sunday, to provide the main photo-shoot, then worked Monday and Tuesday in London arriving late last night and turning up at Les Hinton’s packed reception. Her husband, as far as I can work out, hasn’t attended one reception. There was a late rewrite of a major section of his speech last night, and an exhausted Danny Kruger (main speechwriter) turned up for breakfast as I was leaving at 10am looking like he hadn’t been to bed. Mind you, I look that way too and I slept a whole five hours last night.
