Guido is very happy to be the first to publicly congratulate über-moderniser MP Nic Boles on tying the knot with his partner Shay Meshulam. They had a quiet civil partnership ceremony in Camberwell in March. They’ll be having a livelier wedding party in Ibiza this September. The relationship is due to politics, Nic first met Shay on a Conservative Friends of Israel junket.

Nic tells Guido “Miracles can happen even in middle age”.
