Blair and Chequers

Clearly I have a long way to go in my pursuit of a star stidded celebritee media career:

The guest list included everyone from Charlotte
Church, the singer and Channel Four presenter, and her Welsh
rugby-playing partner Gavin Henson, to Tess Daly, the co-presenter of
BBC1’s Strictly Come Dancing, and her husband Vernon Kay, who is also a
TV presenter. Other famous names included Lorraine Kelly and Fiona
Phillips from GMTV, as well as Chris Evans, the BBC Radio 2 DJ.

Richard
Madeley, one half of the Richard & Judy show, dined with the
Blairs, as did June Sarpong, the youth television presenter.

Obviously, some of them I know (rugby player and his bird, ginger DJ etc) but…

One other thing also slightly worries me. These are entertainments that took place at Chequers….and I didn’t think the taxpayer actually coughed up for that? Thought it was all paid for by a charitable trust?

Or is it overheads and general running costs from the Trust, entertainment expenses from the taxpayer?

  1. The intellectual calibre of those guests is staggering. Imagine the conversations during dinner.

  2. Too much is being made of these parties. Tony just liked to test the nation’s pulse. He was like that: conscientious and always willing to listen to opposite points of view. In turn, I did my utmost to voice the concerns of the common man, though in my case, one of unquestionable good looks.
