This week we said goodbye to our Communications Manager Leonie who decided that four and a half years of trying to communicate everything that we do was quite enough and that she’d rather travel around South America in the sunshine without any responsibility or having to get up for work every morning. Personally I can’t see the appeal. Anyhow, as a friend I thought it was important to pass on some top tips so that Leonie can enjoy her travels safely. (These will also apply to your summer holiday, so feel free to write them down…)

My friends, Boris Johnson here. You will have observed that I have been appointed to the grandest of parliamentary departments, The Foreign Office, a wondrous honour for a lowly Old Etonian like I. Echoing the peregrinations of Phileas Fogg and Passepartout, I shall soon be depart across the seven seas furthering the interests of Britannia. My first task is of course to promote to our friends across the globe the greatest of British exports, social enterprise. I outline below some of the dazzling examples that we have to offer.

Bona fide

There is a vacuum of leadership across the country. Turn on the news and you’ll hear of power struggles, leadership contests and plots to overthrow the incumbent. Westminster has become Lord of The Flies, Othello and The Thick of It rolled into one.

With so many leadership campaigns now under way, I thought that this week we could take a look at how you can maximise your own chances of replicas hublot assuming a position of power. At the rate we’re going there won’t be anyone in the country who isn’t standing for a parliamentary position soon.

Enjoy your weekend
