Can you help crack the secret code in the diaries of Lord Hailsham?

The Margaret Thatcher Foundation needs your help. (I can’t quite believe I just typed that).

During the later part of his life Quintin Hogg – Lord Hailsham – kept an occasional political and personal diary, some of it in a form of shorthand system called ‘Speedwriting’ which he seems to have used as much for security as saving time. The diaries up to 1979 are now being released to the public for the first time at the Churchill Archives Centre in Cambridge.

The Margaret Thatcher foundation has been granted exclusive rights to publish extracts online. They have successfully translated a number of the coded entries, with very generous help from some cryptanalysts at G.C.H.Q apparently.

Can you help them translate the rest?
