The Spectator
by Martin Rowson
26 June 2008
‘Yes! Ha! I’d have been up to the top job’. In the first of an occasional series, Martin Rowson interviews Ann Widdecombe while drawing her at the same time. But this two-pronged satirical strategy does not faze the cult Tory
Paul McKenna
The Spectator
by James Delingpole
21 June 2008
James Delingpole meets a lifestyle guru who gets results. The general rule when writing pieces about the multimillionaire TV hypnotist, bestselling author and self-help guru Paul McKenna is to go in deeply sceptical and to come out less so. Well I’m sorry, but I can’t be doing with any of that. ‘Paul,’ I say, when I walk into his swanky west London office with the chauffeur-driven silver Bentley outside. ‘I’ve got loads and loads of problems, some major, some minor, and it’s my belief you can cure them all and change my life forever.’

David Cameron
The Spectator
by Fraser Nelson
9 May 2008
'Cameron gets ready for No. 10 — and Boris must wait his turn'. David Cameron talks to Fraser Nelson about his local election triumphs, admits that he is not going to ‘agree on everything’ with the new Mayor of London, and says Boris should join the queue to become PM after him. "The victorious David Cameron is being driven towards Buckingham Palace, the adrenaline of election success still pumping through his veins. Crowds line The Mall, peering into the blackened glass of his limousine. But when he approaches the Palace, his car turns for the A4 and the reverie is shattered. He’s on his way to Crewe for the by-election, setting off by car because of train cancellations. The crowds were for someone else. His lunch is a cheese sandwich from an M1 service station.
