Last week, Guido shone a light on London Night Czar Amy Lamé’s rather conspicuous six-week sick leave. Despite her inability to respond to work emails, she miraculously found the strength to host her weekly BBC radio show. Whilst also mustering the energy to keep her garden in tip-top shape…
Guido is happy to report that Lamé seems to have recovered from her illness just in time to…take her annual leave. Making the most of the summer on her £132,000 salary…
UPDATE: It appears Lamé will be coming back from her holiday at the end of August. A month-long annual leave…
Tom Baldwin, author of Starmer’s hagiography, spoke to Times Radio:
Tom Baldwin: “I think he’d like to do something. He’s very dutiful and driven by service. That’s why he came into politics. I think that’s characterised his time as prime minister. He hasn’t always sought popularity or been good at being popular. But I think he has some of the necessary qualities that we actually do want in a prime minister. That resilience, that relentlessness, that ability to carry the weight and the job really does weigh very heavily on people and he carries that weight very, very well.”
Jo Coburn: “NATO Secretary-General?”
Tom Baldwin: “I think that’s something that he would be interested in. I think it probably requires Andy Burnham’s government to support him in that and these are some of the questions which Andy Burnham has to resolve quite quickly.”
