Patricia Hewitt’s tears for Tony

By John Gray

Well, after today’s events I think we all need cheering up at bit. So I’ll just play this clip on YouTube which shows Patricia’s reaction (she is referred to by her family nickname “Zoey”) in 2007 to the resignation of Tony Blair and the prospect of Gordon Brown as Prime Minister.

This obviously explains a lot!

(I won’t name and embarrass the person who originally showed me this clip in a very different context. But hat-tip thingy anon anyway).
