No whips, please, we're British @ No 10

"Cor Blimey! Just take a look at this!" Arturo was frantically waving both the Daily Mail and the Mirror above his head. "Take a gander at the dolly!"

Now this sort of language and enthusiasm is not typical of Arturo. Supreme rat-catcher that he is, females do not normally interest him. This time he was wild-eyed with excitement.

"She's one of the Cameron cuties! Imagine that! A Cameron Cutie on the front page of GQ magazine and in several red-tops!"

"Who is?" I asked.

"That Mensch woman! The one who stares dreamily into the cameras, when she's on those Select Committees on tele - you know!"

"Well, what's she done now?" I asked.

"She's all over the papers - nearly every one has a picture, or pictures, of her. Take a look."

He was right. In the Mirror, there was the headline:

Louise Mensch hits out at Tories for not promoting her

Tom McTague wrote:

In an explosive interview which will risk the wrath of the PM, ...
The mother-of-three, who has only been an MP for 20 months, complained she is always ignored for any parliamentary private secretary roles, the lowest rung on the government ladder.

Mrs Mensch, who also posed for a photo-shoot in skintight skirt and shirt, said: “Every time there is a raft of PPS promotions and my name is not on them, I have to sit down and think, ‘What am I doing wrong?’”

Victoria Ward in the Daily Telegraph had a similar story under the headline:

Louise Mensch complains that female MPs are judged on looks;
Louise Mensch, the Conservative MP, has spoken of her frustration at being overlooked for promotion, claiming that female politicians were “trivialised.”

The article quoted Mrs Mensch as saying:

"It's kind of annoying,” she said. “What do I have to do to get promoted over here? Am I being disloyal? I don't know. I need to sit down with my whip and say, 'What do I have to do?'

Wow! I thought, now that's an image to conjure with - Louise Mensch sitting down with her 'whip' and asking 'what do I have to do?'.

These Tory ladies! They make your blood race. What images they conjure up! And what a way they do have with words!

Victoria Ward went on to write in her article:

The MP for Corby said she hoped one day to "have a crack at International Development".

The Mensch lady is a great one for the 'whip', isn't she? First she asks what she has to do with her whip! Soon after, she wants to "have a crack at International Development"! This eager lady shouldn't be in International Development. She might frighten the horses! What she needs to be is in the Foreign Office to 'whip' all those pesky Europeans into some semblance of order.

I decided to find out more about Mrs Louise Mensch MP. We know she is a very new MP with considerable ambition. She is also a not inconsiderable writer of chick lit! This blonde bombshell of a Corby MP has written several books under her previous name of Louise Bagshawe. There are titles such as:

When She Was Bad
Career Girls
Passion
Glitz

There are many others titles such as the one intriguingly called 'Venus Envy' (I'm sure Herr Dr Freud would have something to say about that!)

Still, the lady is nothing if not feisty! I just hope that 'Boy David' Cameron keeps a level head. Before he knows it, this galloping major of a woman, with PR skills like hers, will be aiming to run the country. If she does it as a 'Career Girl' who 'When She Was Bad' had 'Passion' and 'Glitz' who's to say where the UK will end up?

'Bye'
