iain Dale is the President, Chairman and Secretary of the Nadine Dorries blog fan club, constantly praising it on his blog.  Now, at last, having secured an entry! - HERE - I too am a fan.  It is, as usual, hilarious and brilliantly written.  Perhaps that’s why, as Nadine tells me, she now gets more than 300,000 visits a month to her blog.  This must make her (a) the most popular MP blogger by a mile and (b) [alert - possible sexist comment coming…] Britain’s most popular female political blogger?

After these comments, Nadine is a friend for life ( and a friend for life of the wife too).  My other new best friend is Boris Johnson.  Although I already love him, I was getting a bit complacent about Boris’s charm, until he came up to me in the Lobby and told me had read my dad’s autobiography, Scenes From Institutional Life , not a widely read work.  Boris is now a friend for life.  And Nadine can read it to get an idea of my privileged background…  

UPDATE ONE: never tell your wife that she is mentioned in a blog where she is described as “ordinary” (however well meaning).

UPDATE TWO: I should have made clear that Iain Dale has been a “friend for life” for longer than I care to remember - certainly since he published my books… 

UPDATE THREE: > You must not underestimate the popularity of Boris’s website either - currently striking an amazing 450,000 hits per month! Come over and visit…Melissa, Webmaster to boris-johnson.com
