 praise from the prestigious POLITICO London Playbook. 

 Incredible to chat to John Kerry - a giant of U.S. politics - in the shadow of Big   Ben. Another reminder of how fortunate I am to work on this incredibly historic estate

I'm naturally curious. So when I was invited to a do in aid of Gavin Williamson -  the UK's Defence Secretary - I readily accepted. I was interested to hear what he would say to a private audience. 

I liked Gavin's belief in the UK. Beneath the 'bluster' he was also really charming and nice to chat with.
