Surbiton girl in Cabinet

I am really delighted that David Cameron has decided to appoint local girl Nicky Morgan MP as Women’s Minister in the Cabinet. See the story on the Surrey Comet website; find the link in the right hand column.

I knew Nicky Griffiths (as she was then) as a Surbiton Young Conservative in the 1990s and have watched her career with great interest since then. I’m sure we all wish her every good fortune in her new role. In the aftermath of the business involving the lady from Wimbledon and Basingstoke, I have been cheered up considerably by this news.
