Labour’s Lady of the Night

Mandy isn’t the only Labour politician willing to throw in some juicy details in order to flog a few copies. Nottingham councillor and writer Catharine Arnold tells of intriguing past while promoting her new book City of Sin:

“Far from looking like a conventional hooker, I was a gamine public-school girl with a fresh complexion and a good figure. I had always had a thing about older men, perhaps because I lost my father young. I was never hard enough to be a real ‘Mayfair mercenary’, as the top girls were known. I never went to Tokyo Joe’s or Tramp, and the women who did terrified me. I wasn’t interested in rock starts or celebrities. I knew my type: they were the older men who would find in the quiet bar and take me to dinner and tell me about their children. I nursed the hope that at some stage I would meet a kindly sugar daddy who would set me up in Mayfair. But I never found such a man.”

Guido is surprised she never made it further up the greasy pole…

    can’t decide now whether to be very brave and be the only person on Twitter to defend Piers Morgan as a Trending Topic

      If you defend Brown as your hero, you can probably claim anything you like.

        I wannabe famous says:

        Her “Hero” has been the perfect stepping stone to get her where she wants to be. While her hero hides away in bonnie Scotland she can hob nob with the rich and famous in london’s high society. She is also able to do loads of charity stuff thanks to her so called friends, which makes her feel good about herself as her constant Twittering shows.

        Aha – she’s e-mailed you a complaint already, and the tag magically appears. Wise move Guido – pays to flatter potential ‘sources’ (or in this case, maybe, ‘sauces’…)

        Good question. Neither do I. At a guess I would think Piers Morgan is being Tweeted about a lot and his friend Sarah is coming to his defence. In reality I suspect Sarah is just name dropping and is starting to believe her fanciful self publicity.

    Is this the same Andrew Stallard involved in Hain’s failed leadership campaign?

    “Far from looking like a conventional hooker, I was a gamine public-school girl with a fresh complexion and a good figure”.
    “I was also equipped with punnani muscles that could strip the thread off a bolt”.

      Hey, assuming she’s not telling porkies, at least she’s one politician who’s actually done some sort of work out in the real world.

      Any Nottingham/Labour readers know what her voting/gobbing off record is vis a vis ladies of negotiable virtue, banning, criminalising thereof. Has she, for example, told Hattie Harperson she talks bollocks on the subject?

    Voice of Treason says:

    When Labour were in power this site was continually hounding them for their policies etc. It was good as it discussed real political points. Now it only seems to publish tittle-tattle and silly postings that would be more appropriate in the Daily Star or Sun. What’s gone wrong Guido, are you losing it?

      Look at the top of the page.

      “Tittle Tattle, gossip and rumours…”

      A few crosshairs is all well and good but we all like to point and laugh when our so-called “leaders” and “betters” get caught with their pants down.

            If one of those reports authorised a process or component that subsequently fails spectacularly, you could become really famous.

            You didn’t sign them off in your real name, did you? Kept your professional indemnity insurance up to date?

      • 144
        Grumpy Old Man says:

        Saying, “Please”, is not a Harman Core Value. Now “hold on or pay a £200 spot fine”. That I could believe.

    • 186
      Mr Ned says:

      The vile Harperson is not against prostitutes, indeed she is in favour of massive tax-payer subsidy to house and take care of them to offer outreach programmes and all sorts of state aid.

      What she is against is the idea of men getting any pleasure from employing prostitutes.

    This rather lends weight to my suspicion that Westminster is just a whacking great knocking shop in which some of the punters do a bit of law-making in their spare time. I wouldn’t mind, but I rather resent funding a load of middle-aged blokes’ mid-life crises and unconventional bed-chamber peccadillos (or is that peccadildos?).

    Why would she expect to find a sugar-daddy among that lot? They’re financial takers, not givers. See expense scandal for details.
