Yesterday started ridiculously early and ended far too late.
The Newton ward by-election – won by superstar Dave Hosell – began at 6am as our campaign team prepared their early morning supporters leaflet.
At the other end of the day, junior Watson decided he wanted a spell in the A&E department which required repeat reading of “The Cat in the Hat” until nearly 3am.
Somewhere in between I was made a junior minister at the Cabinet Office. For those that have phoned or emailed their congratulations, I say thank you. For those that have been in touch to say that I should be Minister for Public Health, I say get a new gag writer.

Tom, I hope that being in A&E untill 3am was within the 4 hours target waiting time and that junior Watson is OK?
Minister for Sumo?
Tom said then:
“It shouldn’t be neccesary but to amuse you: I promise never to return to government.
Good enough?”

Tom says now:
“Somewhere in between I was made a junior minister at the Cabinet Office”.
John,
It’s been a long time now.
The spiteful comments must hurt you too. Is there some way that we can move on from this kind of stuff?
Tom
I thought irony, satire and blogging kinda
went together. Have I missed something?
