Farewell to my PA

Have done endless interviews about: my comments on the Mayor’s dishonesty, the parking scrutiny and the West London Tram.

Today I go into the GLA for my wonderful PA’s farewell lunch. Jeni has been absolutely fantastic and I will miss her.

Coming back into City Hall, I realise I have forgotten my pass. Blow me down – the security guard wouldn’t let me through and made me go through the screening reserved for visitors rather than staff.

Full marks I thought – in a week that has seen a complete farce in the security mess that appears to surround our key terrorist targets – the House of Commons and Buckingham Palace.
