SUNDAY NIGHT Dave’s private office has just rung to say he wants me to accompany him on his earthsaving trip to Norway to highlight global warming — am so excited my climate’s changing!

DC, Chief of Staff, Environment Spokesman and me not so shabby being on the ‘gumby’ Defra brief now, eh Poppy?! Best thing is we’re travelling there on luxury private plane.
