Simple Simon
I am writing this some time after the stable door has bolted, but whatever. Sion Simon and Tom Watson have taken a bit of a pasting for their spoof of Webcameron. I think both of them realise that next time they should prepare a script! Having said that, however, I have known Sion for well over a decade, and through him, Tom Watson. Both are thoroughly nice people, as far as I am concerned, who have gone out of their way to be kind to me since I became an MP. Sion, who I know best of the two, is one of the most intelligent people in Parliament, and I have never understood why he has not been made a Minister. I hope a Brown government will give both of them a couple of years in office before we take over. I don’t think, by the way, David Cameron was too bothered by the whole thing - he has also known Sion for a long time, and I suspect he is more perplexed than upset.
