Her CV includes a degree in English Literature from Sussex University, as well as multiple stints at London Fashion Week. But you can see why music would be a good fit. Her father is Queen drummer Roger Taylor.
He’d surely go Radio Ga Ga to see his daughter following in her old man’s footsteps.
The proverbial bad smell
Spotted at the Conservative Friends of Israel annual lunch this week was former chancellor George Osborne, above right, rubbing shoulders with Boris Johnson and half the Cabinet. Osborne – who sat with Foreign Secretary Liz Truss – certainly likes being around politicians. The CFI lunch was his third Tory engagement in as many months. He also gave an interview to the Conservative Home website this week in which he gave the following alarming advice to Boris Johnson: “You never know how long you’ve got in office, and the wheel turns, and then suddenly you’re out.”
When I ask if Osborne is considering a comeback, his friends say he just likes to “revisit old haunts” and he is happy where he is. But some MPs will be asking: for how long?
Yours sincerely, Jeffrey
Best-selling author Jeffrey Archer told a Telegraph subscribers’ event last week about how pressure from readers who wrote to him in droves saved “wicked” Lady Virginia Fenwick from being axed in his Clifton Chronicles saga because they loved her character so much. The lesson, he says, is that it is always worth putting pen to paper to complain – and especially to the BBC.
“I remember a journalist at the BBC,” he said, “telling me, ‘If the BBC gets five letters it influences them … if we get 10, 15 or 20, it is getting serious’.”
Time to find the ink pot!
