David Lammy
Hi guys, I’m on a Foreign Office fact-finding mission to the Arctic. Just one question. Here in the Arctic, should I be seeing penguins or polar bears?
Morgan McSweeney
Definitely polar bears.
David Lammy
Yes, of course, quite right. I’ll just get a taxi. I’ll be up there in a jiffy.
Morgan McSweeney
Time for some good news – I trust everyone has seen our big Hamilton success.
I met him for a great photo opportunity. You see – one proven winner talks to another.
Morgan McSweeney
I was talking about our victory in the Hamilton by- election.
Yes – that too. I was telling Lewis not to give up just cos you’re on a losing streak – you never know when there’s a surprise victory just around the corner.
Angela Rayner
Makes a nice change from the wheels coming off!
My friend Lewis puts his current poor performance down to having a useless team around him.
Angela Rayner
Maybe they should just replace the driver?
