Kate Middleton wakes up to new interiors Girls are a big hit with Hague's man Four senior Tories cited as potential future leaders spoke at the party's conference on Tuesday: Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Theresa May and Jeremy Hunt. The mind of one former conference regular was, however, far away. "Girls Aloud are back," declared Chris Myers, who resigned as a special adviser to William Hague two years ago over what the Foreign Secretary described as "untrue and malicious" allegations. Myers added of the reports that Cheryl Cole's pop group would reunite for a special performance on Strictly Come Dancing: "Nothing else today is remotely important." Yesterday's folk appear on Today Mandrake is old enough to remember when the Radio 4 Today programme used to claim to set the agenda. Now, it appears content to have its agenda set for it by the likes of Intelligence Squared. Not for the first time, it gave an inordinate amount of airtime to trailing a debate that the tinpot organisation had arranged on why London "should love its bankers." The debate was between that old has-been Ken Livingstone and Jennifer Moses, who was once a big noise at Goldman Sachs. Perhaps Today might care, too, to trail the debate Mandrake is organising down at the Dog & Duck on whether we "should love the pork scratchings more than the salt and vinegar crisps"? Sid and Doris Bonkers are to debate the motion.
