When Alastair Campbell attacked Nigel Farage for attending an “elitist party”Ā at the Ritz on Wednesday night it was tempting fate. Guido wondered aloud, where was Bad Al that night?
@campbellclaret And where were you having dinner last night? š·

Turns out that Campbell was dining at the Michelin starredĀ River Cafe restaurant in Hammersmith, attending an elitist establishment party of his own with fellow Remain campaign losers Peter Mandelson and Sir John Sawyers, the former boss of MI6, BSE chairman and tycoon Sir Stuart Rose as well as billionaire Remain donor Sir Charles Dunstone.
The River Cafe menu offers slow-roasted veal shin for Ā£37, wood-roasted grouse for Ā£40 and wines at over Ā£2,000 a bottle. The very next day Campbell had the gall to call out Farage for attending an “elitist party” – hypocrisy at its most delicious…
Corrine Sawers, the Remainer pop-video director with a star wailing that she “don’t want to be dancing on my own”, might be more familiar to Guido readers as the gold Kalshnikov wielding daughter of former MI6 spy chief Sir John Sawers. The gun was a decommissioned Kalashnikov herĀ father acquired as a memento of his time in Iraq. Saddam had several of the gold-plated weapons. She posted the picture on Facebook one Christmas a few years back.Ā She’s all grown up now…
She describes herself nowadays asĀ “an amateur circus artist and film maker. Full time consultant & impact investor. Into the transformation of food systems and centre left politics. Obsessive yogini.”Ā
Not sure what conspiracy theorists will make of the Bilderberg attending MI6 boss’s daughter telling us to vote Remain…
