We knew this, but Damian McBride can write. The opening sentence of his book:
You know you’re in trouble when you have to introduce yourself to two complete strangers and ask to climb out of their kitchen window.
The whole of the first chapter, about his time at Peterhouse, Cambridge, is also a shocker.
PS. If you haven’t seen the video of Iain Dale, McBride’s publisher, trying to stop an anti-nuclear protester, and his dog, getting into the background of a TV interview with the author, you should. [If only one still could – Ed]
