Paddy O’Connell

What was then scurrilously suggested to me afterwards is that actually Victoria Atkins' suggestion that they had been very good friends.

would not necessarily have been a universal view in the Conservative Party.

So as an effective politician, sometimes people try to create a bit of drama to make a political point.

But if you were listening to that rather than watching it, through the whole exchange, Robert Jenner was just trying to look away and not turn around to confront her.

It was amazing TV.

Well, it's another of these amazing moments of this news cycle that's scampering by so quickly.

But what did you actually buy anything at the big carpet sale?

Yes, I was going to buy you a bunch of old tat and get you to value it.

But I ran out of tenors.

Well, I only had one tenor and I spent it on three racks of bedding plants.

So I couldn't really get you to value my busy lizzies.

Well, I could say they were a tenner.

Are they nice, busy lizards?

Amazing.

Are you going to plant them later?

I am.

I can't give it to you because you would never plant them.
