We all love it - or at least I do - but how long will it be before she heads up another big organisation?

Can anyone tell us how much she was paid for being chief executive, and how much she is being paid to leave? It would be interesting to compare her situation with that of other people in similar circumstances.

So Coulson spent a weekend at Chequers after he resigned and Laws was there too! This Chipping Norton set, is it like the Illuminati?

Why cannot she spell her name Rebecca?

I think we should blame her parents for that, David.

Goodbye pretty thing!

What her newspapers would call "A Stunna!"

Reference to the `Chipping Norton Set` is a construction erected by the media who have, it seems, wifully ignored a few other relevant facts. Not least that Charlie Brooks is an old Etonian journalist who grew up near Chipping Norton, which happens to be in Cameron`s constituency. It is hardly to be wondered at then that he would be on familiar terms with Cameron and by extension, so would his wife. The matter of her influential postion in the media was not a disadvantage either; but the connexion is hardly a result of that alone.

Why doesn't she call herself 'Rebecca?' hmmmm

Working as a lady's companion, the heroine of Rebecca learns her place. Life begins to look very bleak until, on a trip to the South of France, she meets Maxim de Winter, a handsome widower whose sudden proposal of marriage takes her by surprise. She accepts, but whisked from glamorous Monte Carlo to the ominous and brooding Manderley, the new Mrs de Winter finds Max a changed man. And the memory of his dead wife Rebecca is forever kept alive by the forbidding Mrs Danvers.

Not since Jane Eyre has a heroine faced such difficulty with the Other Woman.

Wasn't Rebecca a bit of a tart.

p.s.

A little sensitive there Martin.
